Online recruitment Solutions company, Houdini Media acquires caravan-jobfinder.co.uk business

January 2009 has seen the start of what promises to be a very good year for Houdini Media with the acquisition of the online business caravan-jobfinder.co.uk. With a strong portfolio of web businesses including the countryís busiest seasonal recruitment website, seasonworkers.com, Houdini Media recognised a valuable opportunity in the purchase of the caravan job advertisement website.

Houdini Media have established themselves as a leader in the seasonal recruitment industry both in the UK and abroad. In the past year their web business has expanded to include a range of websites, helping to maintain double digit growth every year for the last five years. The addition of caravan-jobfinder.co.uk represents a further expansion of their offering in this niche recruitment market.

Mick Briggs, Managing Director of Houdini Media sees the acquisition as a positive move for the organisation in a challenging marketplace:

ìWith predictions that the economic decline will encourage more of us in Britain to holiday at home this year it will be more important than ever to capitalise on this opportunity by having the right people in the right jobs within parks and sites throughout the UK. Since 1999 the performance of caravan-jobfinder.co.uk has proved the value of traffic and quality of applicants using the website. Houdini Media can use their expertise to further develop these results and provide an even better resource for applicants and advertisers within the caravan industry.î

Previous Owner and MD of Templenet comments:

ìAlthough it was with some regret that I made the decision to hand over the reigns of caravan-jobfinder.co.uk to a new owner I did so with confidence, safe in the knowledge that I would struggle to find another organisation that could rival the experience or reputation that Houdini Media can lay claim to. I know that I leave my customers in safe hands and will enjoy keeping an eye on developments as Houdini Media take the business from strength to strength.î

The addition of caravan-jobfinder.co.uk will add 170,000 unique visitors per year to Houdini Mediaís network and around a further 150 active recruiters.
