Our History
Formed in 2003 by the former Directors of a major UK recruiter, their vision was to become the largest privately owned UK recruiter operating in the “Built Environment”. Freed of the ties of a global Corporate parent company and multiple external shareholders, they were enabled to drive the business forward – the objectives of rapid growth combined with the ability to remain agile in the market were realised.
From a standing start in Jan 2004, Fusion People entered the market strongly achieving a first year turnover of just over £7m and continued to grow year on year through to the global downturn in 2009. Emerging from this challenging stage following a period of consolidation, we made a number of acquisitions to augment our capability in the market.
In recent years, our operations across the Built Environment have strengthened to include a wider range of public sector clients alongside our existing private sector portfolio. Our delivery capability has also widened with the addition of both minor project delivery and in-house training for Rail competencies.
Throughout our journey to date, our maxim has been of quality over quantity – we don’t aim to fill the most jobs in the least time, we aim to find the right people for the right roles and vice versa. Now turning over circa £80m p.a. we are one of the leading providers of recruitment services in the Built Environment in the UK market.
As we head for our 22nd anniversary we look forward to an exciting new chapter, we will continue to grow our offering for candidates and clients, develop and grow the very best Consultants in the business and create a legacy for those charities and communities with and in which we work.
