Recruitment firm Transline saved in takeover deal with Wirral’s Russell Taylor Holdings

Transline Group, the Brighouse-headquartered recruitment firm, has been acquired by Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd.

The deal, which was completed on 16th May, has secured around 6,000 jobs across the UK.

Transline Group has now become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd, which is headquartered in Wirrall.

There will be no changes to the day-to-day operations with all employees, senior management and clients transferring across to the new company.

Transline Group, which is registered under Qualitycourse Limited, has suffered with weak trading results in recent months and was believed to be on the brink of administration.

Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd’s other subsidiaries are Russell Taylor Group Ltd, founded in 2002; Recruit Right Ltd, founded in 2011; and Assist Resourcing UK Ltd, which the group acquired in January 2017.

Russell Taylor Holding’s companies work across a number of recruitment sectors, including construction, engineering, warehousing and manufacturing.

Ben Russell, Group CEO of Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd, said: “Transline has been a growing force within the industrial recruitment industry for nearly three decades with long-term customer relationships across the most successful businesses in retail and logistics.

“The industrial recruitment industry has faced pressure due to the exponential growth of the UK e-commerce sector and the experience and quality of the Transline team and its investment in compliance and infrastructure will ensure the business reaches its future potential.

“The investment will facilitate the long-term success of the company and wider Group as we continue to bring on board complementary businesses that share our values to create an industry-leading combination.”
