Perfect Recruitment Lisa Brady And Laura Hartley

More than 40 years of industry experience have come together as LHR Recruitment has joined forces with Perfect Recruitment.

LHR Recruitment was founded by Laura Hartley in 2009 and places talent in the public, private and third-party sectors.

Perfect Recruitment, owned by Lisa Brady and established in 2007, specialises in recruitment in the catering and hospitality sector.

Bringing their resources together, they will operate solely from the Perfect Recruitment head office base in Chorley.

Laura will continue identifying vacancies and channelling candidates to Perfect Recruitment who will utilise its expertise and connections in matching candidates to roles.

This strategic alliance will allow Perfect Recruitment and its six-strong team of professional experts to leverage their strengths and expand their influence in the job placement arena whilst also bolstering its own team over the coming months.

Lisa Brady of Perfect Recruitment said: "We’re absolutely delighted to finally be able to announce we are joining forces. Laura’s expertise and deep-rooted passion for placing people in meaningful roles is set to prove invaluable to the development of Perfect Recruitment and I am confident this alliance will deliver more value than ever to LHR and Perfect Recruitment clients and candidates alike."

As part of the strategic approach, Laura is training with the team at Perfect Recruitment, ensuring a seamless transition of responsibilities. The development will see Lisa focus on business expansion and experience, while Laura will be able to step away from the day-to-day running of the recruitment firm, dedicating more time to the success of her ‘Merchandise 4 Impact’ business.

Laura said: "I am absolutely delighted to be working with Lisa and the Perfect Recruitment team in this unique way. Together, we are united in our commitment to excellence and innovation in the recruitment industry and by combining our strengths and expertise, we believe we are poised to make a significant impact on the job placement landscape across the UK."
