January 2015 sees the expansion of Expion’s successful Automotive and Engineering division, with the addition of a dedicated team of automotive industry recruiters to focus on all vehicle maintenance disciplines. This expansion means that Expion now offer a 360 service for this sector, recruiting right through from point of manufacture to aftermarket and maintenance. This growth comes on the back of year on year success for this specialist consultancy, which launched the business in 2010 and now has three UK offices.
Expion’s launch of a dedicated team to recruit across all vehicle maintenance skill sets is just one step in their focused expansion strategy for 2015 and beyond. The market knowledge and industry networks the new team brings to the Automotive and Engineering division will ensure that clients can benefit from one point of contact to support their resourcing requirements, whatever automotive related skills they need to recruit. The new team has solid experience of sourcing candidates in the following:
- Fleet hire and maintenance
- Logistics and distribution
- Public sector
- Vehicle retail
- Bus and coach
- Defence
- Plant equipment
- OEM, tier 1 and tier 2 manufacturing
The Automotive and Engineering division at Expion is already well established throughout the UK. It is headed up by Francesca Loughrey, a recruitment professional with 11 years’ recruiting experience across a number of disciplines, who previously built a successful national automotive business for the specialist arm of a global recruitment business.
Francesca says, “While our Automotive and Engineering division has already fulfilled the staffing requirements of a wide range of companies across the UK, the time was right to bring together a dedicated team to build on this success by offering truly expert knowledge of the vehicle maintenance industry. The new team’s extensive experience will allow them to source niche candidates for clients within this highly competitive market and also offer a range of flexible resourcing solutions too.”
