TAC Europe Acquires Rail Industry Specialist Westmead

TAC Europe are pleased announce the acquisition of the business of Westmead Associates, a division of Surf1st International Rail Group on 10th October 2005.

Westmead is a technical recruitment company specialising in the rail industry, with a Client portfolio boasting such market leaders as Bombardier Rail.

Stuart Hood, Managing Director, Surf1st International Rail Group comments ìWestmeads business has grown significantly since itís conception in 1999. We felt that to continue its development we needed to integrate it with a market leader, such a TAC Europe.î

TAC Europeís Managing Director, Simon Trippick echoes Stuartís view, ëthe Westmead business is entirely compatible with TAC Europeís, both organisations share the same focus on technical recruitment and quality. This move helps strengthen our presence in the rail industry. Our on-going acquisition strategy is focused on working with small recruitment companies, operating in a technical niche, who would benefit from being part of a larger enterprise.í
