Sellick strikes deal for independent recruitment firm

Sellick Partnership has acquired a majority shareholding in one of the UK’s leading independent recruitment and talent solutions businesses.

The firm, a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsic Group, has struck a deal for Gleeson Recruitment Group, as part of a UK expansion strategy.

Founded in 2011, Gleeson Recruitment Group has built a strong reputation across a range of industries with a head office in Birmingham and four other offices across the Midlands and south of England.

Hannah Cottam, chief executive at Sellick Partnership, said: “From the outset, what stood out about Gleeson Recruitment Group was the similarity in our business models.

“Both organisations have been built by passionate founders, place people and relationships at the heart of what they do and share a commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for clients and candidates.

“Over the years, we have developed a great deal of mutual respect for the Gleeson team.

“While each business will continue to operate under its own brand and leadership, we are excited about the opportunity to work alongside colleagues who share our entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to excellence and long-term approach to growth.”
