A WORCESTERSHIRE manufacturing and engineering recruitment consultancy is marking a five year association with one of the UK’s major manufacturing success stories.

Stourport-on-Severn-based Consilium Recruit was appointed by the Manufacturing Technology Centre when it was founded five years ago. Since then it has partnered the MTC in its drive for growth, recruiting a wide range of engineering talent across all key sectors of the business. The company, which also has offices in Stratford-upon-Avon, has a division of the company specifically aimed at recruiting highly skilled engineers, managers and advanced manufacturing technicians.

Consilium set up a dedicated recruitment team to service the Coventry based MTC, scouring the world to attract highly educated and talented staff. The team also assisted with graduate assessment programmes, recruitment open days and supported the recruitment process in full, resulting in more than 350 successful appointments to date.

Consilium director Adrian Elwell said: "The MTC has had a highly demanding growth schedule which required us to fill some of the most challenging positions. We have recruited a wide spread of engineering talent with the advanced skill-sets required for the engineering and manufacturing technologies of tomorrow."

Consilium Recruit, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, was formed in 2001 by a group of engineering and manufacturing professionals. The company has placed industry talent into a variety of leading UK and European businesses, with clients including Jaguar Land Rover, McLaren and Bosch. In 2014 the 40-employee firm was voted the UK’s best recruitment company to work for by the Institute of Recruitment Professionals, and also recognised nationally as a top 10 company by the prestigious Great Places to Work Institute.
