Cost management specialists to go on recruitment drive

A North East cost management specialist firm has revealed plans to create more than 150 new jobs over the next 18 months, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

Great Annual Savings (GAS) Group has already increased staff numbers from 31 to 140 after moving to the Spectrum Business Park in Seaham last June, but since then it has managed to win new contracts and increased its customer base from 800 to almost 1,500. 

Now GAS is set to further increase its headcount to at least 300 by the end of June 2017. The move is part of a wider plan to grow its presence into key UK regions outside of the North East. GAS is also considering securing additional office space to house the new recruits.

Bradley Groves, chief executive and chairman of Great Annual Savings Group, said: "We are now ready to embark on the next phase of growth as we move towards our goal of becoming a nationally recognised company.

"We’ve come a long way in the past year. Cost reduction is now becoming as important as growing revenues in the modern business world."

Every firm that plans to extend their workforce should also consider implementing a solid, reliable and flexible workforce optimization system, and this is specifically where Time & Attendance – North East might be able to put its extensive experience to very good use.
