Skills development & recruitment

The Recruitment Group

The Recruitment Group is a people-focused staffing agency in the recruitment and employment services industry, built on the belief that success starts with individuals, a principle captured in their strapline, Powered by People.

Formed through the merger of eight well-established recruitment businesses across the UK, The Recruitment Group combines decades of industry experience and local knowledge to deliver exceptional service. This collective heritage has shaped a company that understands the importance of relationships, trust, and human potential. Today, they provide tailored workforce solutions across sectors, including industrial, commercial, and professional services, helping clients build strong teams and candidates find meaningful roles.

We would like to become a Marketing Derby Bondholder as our head office is located in the Derbyshire Village of Castle Donington and we would like to work with businesses that are local for supplies etc.

The Recruitment Group would also like to use Marketing Derby to aid in networking within the local community, which in turn would help the business grow.

Businesses in Derby are playing a key role in shaping the city’s future by driving economic growth, cultural renewal and community engagement.

With one of the UK’s highest levels of employment in high-tech industries, major employers like Rolls-Royce continue to invest in innovation, while the University of Derby is developing a new city centre Business School to prepare students for the future economy. Regeneration projects such as the Market Hall transformation and the Becketwell Performance Venue are revitalising the city centre, attracting visitors and boosting local trade.

At The Recruitment Group Head Office, our team come from a variety of locations in the Midlands area, so Derby is great hub for the staff to work from.

Having a central location also means our team from Hull all the way to Oxford have a place which they can meet without being too far away.

Locally We Do…

Locally We Do… is a family-run Business owned by my wife Helena & I. Our focus is for Local People to provide Home Help & Property Maintenance Support for the Elderly & Disabled in their Local Communities. Our aim is to enable these two under-supported demographics to continue living as independently as possible in their own homes.

Helena & I both come from a customer service background & want to set the highest possible standard of service being delivered to Clients making Derby the leading City for Quality Service Delivery in Support Services & more.  

We do not do anything regulated but rather aim to support Clients with everything from daily chores like house cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping, accompanied doctors, hospital & social trips, etc. We also cover Handyman, gardening, internal & external painting, shed & fence repair, fit stairs & grab rails, ramps, shallower steps & much more.

Our Support Services not only help the individual Clients but enable their Families to enjoy more quality time with them, reduce the pressure on them & give the Family complete peace of mind knowing their loved ones are being fully supported as they require.

We also can have a significant impact on the care sector in Derby by easing the pressure on the discharge process, helping free up hospital beds quicker by getting their homes clean & safe ready for their return, making space for hospital equipment, 1 to 1 pre booked collection times to get them home & settled in, ensuring they have food & drinks in & prepare them meals as well as continue their support for outpatient & Drs appointments – reducing the likelihood of their return to hospital – breaking the current reactive cycle.

Our aim again is to help Derby become the leading City, raising the standards of care & support not just for the Elderly & Disabled but for all.

I am proud to be a Derby resident & business owner & want to help Derby become a market-leading city in every possible area, providing well-paid work for local people, supporting their local communities to help build the Derby Economy. 

Derby is a fantastic hub for its businesses for them to set a standard to lead the various markets they are in. Its location & transport links make it a perfect base to grow a national/international concern, just like Rolls-Royce & other companies have.

Derby is, in my opinion, the friendliest city in the East Midlands, has so much natural beauty, all so accessible in a fairly short drive. It is a great location with fantastic transport links to the rest of the country. Derby also has so much potential that we would love to help its communities achieve & use it as our Hub & base of operations for our Nationwide development. Our operating system is designed to help local people grow their own businesses, supporting their local communities whilst being supported under our umbrella.

Compamigos

At Compamigos, our name embodies the heart and soul of our tapas bar and restaurant. Inspired by the Spanish phrase “Compartir con Amigos,” which means “to share with friends,” we’ve crafted a dining experience centred around the joy of sharing delicious food, creating lasting memories, and enjoying meaningful moments with friends and family.

Our menu is designed for sharing, from our carefully curated tapas dishes to our extensive drinks menu, and every visit to Compamigos is about more than just the meal—it’s about the experience. Whether you’re enjoying our finest world tapas, sipping on a cocktail, or swapping stories with friends, we believe that moments like these are best shared in good company. And as these experiences spread—through word of mouth or photos on social media—we continue to welcome new amigos into our growing community.
The word “Compamigo” also translates to “buddy” or “friend,” which is exactly how we want you to feel when you step into our tapas bar. At Compamigos, you’ll find a warm, friendly atmosphere where everyone is treated like one of our own

We are looking forward to networking with other businesses, meeting local teams who can inspire us, provide services and visit us! It will enable us to showcase our space and food (when hosting bondholder events) to other bondholders, whether they want to use us for personal or business reasons and also to help us keep up to date with changes happening in and around the area.

Looking ahead, we believe Derby will continue to embrace change while preserving its rich heritage. The blend of traditional industries with emerging sectors, coupled with a focus on sustainability and inclusivity, positions Derby as a city ready to meet the challenges of the future.

As part of this dynamic community, Compamigos is excited to contribute to Derby’s growth, offering a space where people can come together to share food, culture, and experiences.

We’re proud to be part of a city that values collaboration, innovation, and the unique contributions of its local businesses.

We love the current live music scene in Derby – we are surrounded by so much local talent and at Compamigos we are proud to represent this with our live music nights and tapas, and tribute events.
