RECRUITMENT group HR GO has added another agency to its burgeoning nationwide business.

HR GO, based in Ashford, has purchased Cathy Moore Recruitment, of Wootton Bassett, near Swindon, for an undisclosed sum.

The company said it was excited about its new presence in the Swindon area and hoped that with Cathy Moore Recruitment's local reputation, it would provide further opportunities to enhance its national network and win new business.

The agency's trading name has changed to HR GO Swindon but will continue to serve industrial, commercial and IT markets under the Cathy Moore Recruitment brand.

Managing director Cathy Moore said: "We are delighted and looking forward to building on this tremendous platform.

"The partnership with HR GO Plc allows us to continue to provide our clients with the expertise and knowledge of a long-established local company, plus the additional scope and resources to offer a wider range of recruitment solutions."

HR GO, founded in Dartford and previously known as the Human Resource Group, is now one of the top 50 recruitment companies in the UK, with turnover of more than £80million and employing around 450 permanent staff.
