Gap Recruit Drives Forward With Support From Oriel

Six month old Gap Recruit Ltd, a Wakefield based supplier of temporary drivers for the haulage industry, has seen a three-fold expansion since enrolling the specialist services of Oriel Support.

Recent success has enabled Gap Recruit to recruit Rob Coe as commercial division manager to develop the commercial and IT sectors. A further new starter is Ben Taylor who has been taken on as construction director to grow the construction side of their business around the UK. This recruitment has come about as a result of a significant amount of interest from clients for permanent and temporary commercial and IT staff on a more regular basis.

Gap Recruit Ltd offers day-to-day support to blue-chip and SME independent hauliers which use the services of professional temporary drivers nationwide. Gap prides itself on providing a first-class service whether its clients require drivers for a long term contract or on a project basis.

In order to ease the significant administrative requirements and financial complexities associated with temporary recruitment, owners Andy Shimeld, Gavin Sagu and Peter Clark turned to Oriel Support for help. Oriel specialises in outsourced financial services for the recruitment sector, including payroll, credit control and accounting. Thanks to Oriel Support, Gap is able to focus on business development and customer service without the worry of having to complete time consuming back-office tasks.

As Andy explained: ìIn order to move our company forward, it was necessary to outsource the back-office and financial functions. We simply did not have the capabilities or the time to carry out these important but peripheral jobs. With Oriel handling our back-office functions, including payroll, debt collection and accountancy services, weíre free to focus on our significant expansion plans.î
