Outsource UK named as one of Britain’s most inspirational companies

Independent recruitment business Outsource UK has been listed in the ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’ report for the second time.

The London Stock Exchange Group’s report is published annually and identifies the fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) across the country.  To be included in the list companies must significantly outperform their industry peers and show consistent revenue growth over at least three years.

Outsource UK is one of the country’s largest independent recruitment companies, supplying highly-skilled technology, change and engineering talent. Founded in 1991 Outsource UK has grown to become one of the country’s leading independent recruitment businesses, now with five offices across the UK (Birmingham, Manchester, London, Stoke-on-Trent, Swindon) and employing 80 people.

Nick Dettmar is Outsource UK’s CEO and said that he was delighted with the news.  Nick said:  “This is the second time that we have made this prestigious list and it really is a great achievement for us.  I would like to thank all of our colleagues, customers and candidates who have helped us maintain consistent growth throughout our 27 years of trading. As our industry changes, we will continue to innovate and look for ways to take care of our customers’ challenges.”

Outsource UK specialises in supplying highly-skilled technology, change and engineering staff to clients across many sectors including financial services, defence, engineering, cyber security, logistics & supply chain and the public sector.  The company sources, selects, organises and presents clients with the best specialist candidates and in order to do so Outsource staff must be adept at understanding their client’s businesses and roles as well as maintain expert knowledge of the pools of talent available.

Nick Dettmar added: “Our success is built on a uniquely consultative approach and we are committed to working in partnership with our clients, our candidates and each other. We listen. We understand. We offer forward-thinking, efficient strategies and deliver tailor-made permanent, contract and interim recruitment solutions. Above all, we enable the companies and organisations we work with to thrive.”

Committed to the Tech Talent Charter, Outsource is an award-winning consultancy and is just one of a handful of technology and engineering recruiters in the country to have gained REC Gold Audited status.  Outsource is accredited to ISO9001, FSQS, Cyber Essentials and CERIS and supplies WiredGov, GCloud8, Public Sector Resourcing and NMNC supplier

Nikhil Rathi, CEO, London Stock Exchange Plc said:  “We warmly congratulate all of the companies identified in this year’s ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’ report. Five years on, the report continues to demonstrate the strength and diversity of British businesses across the country. These dynamic companies are the backbone of our economy, playing an important role in the UK’s ability to innovate, export and grow. This report is a significant part of London Stock Exchange Group’s broader campaign to support UK high growth companies. We are committed to championing British businesses and Britain’s dynamic entrepreneurial spirit.”
