A Blackburn recruitment firm is joining forces with a Chorley agency, bringing together more than 40 years’ experience helping people find employment.

LHR Recruitment, a temping agency based in Blackburn, and Perfect Recruitment which is headquartered in Chorley, have announced a collaboration which will see the companies come together under one roof.

LHR Recruitment was founded by Laura Hartley in 2009 and is known nationally for placing talent in the public, private and third-party sectors.

While Perfect Recruitment, owned by Lisa Brady and established in 2007, has developed a stellar reputation for recruitment in the UK’s catering and hospitality sector.

Together, the award-winning firms share more than 40 years’ experience, and the collaboration marks a natural progression in their mission to support individuals in finding rewarding employment opportunities.

The joint operation will now operate solely from the Perfect Recruitment head office base in Chorley. 

Ms Hartley will continue identifying vacancies and channelling candidates to Perfect Recruitment, with staff utilising their expertise and connections in perfectly matching candidates to roles.

The partnership will allow Perfect Recruitment and its six-strong team to leverage its strengths and expand its influence in the job placement arena whilst also bolstering the firm’s own team over the coming months.

Ms Brady said: “We’re absolutely delighted to finally be able to announce we are joining forces. Laura’s expertise and deep-rooted passion for placing people in meaningful roles is set to prove invaluable to the development of Perfect Recruitment and I am confident this alliance will deliver more value than ever to LHR and Perfect Recruitment clients and candidates alike.”

As part of the strategic approach, Ms Hartley is training with the team at Perfect Recruitment, ensuring a seamless transition of responsibilities.

The development will see Ms Brady focus on business expansion and experience, while Ms Hartley will be able to step away from the day-to-day running of the recruitment firm, dedicating more time to the success of her ‘Merchandise 4 Impact’ business.

Ms Hartley said: “I am absolutely delighted to be working with Lisa and the Perfect Recruitment team in this unique way.

“Together, we are united in our commitment to excellence and innovation in the recruitment industry and by combining our strengths and expertise, we believe we are poised to make a significant impact on the job placement landscape across the UK. Watch this space.”

Merchandise 4 Impact, Ms Hartley’s separate venture, specialises in workwear, brand promotion and promotional merchandise.

It has rapidly gained recognition as a successful business in its own right, and this collaboration will further enhance its capabilities, enabling her to spend more time on developing the business.
