Forward-thinking agency The Recruitment Group has expanded its footprint into Yorkshire with its 8th acquisition of well-known local firm MYNT Recruitment.

The deal is set to take the agencies’ headcount to nearly 150, and increase their footprint to 15 locations nationwide, whilst bringing new job opportunities to the area. MYNT, currently an 8M turnover business, has offices in York, Hull and Rotherham and specialise in recruiting for the Commercial, Industrial, Professional and Technical sectors.

The Recruitment Group was established in 2020 with the goal of restoring the reputation of the industry by putting people first again. MYNT Recruitment is their first acquisition in the North of the country and will join their network of branches in the Midlands, Wales, and Oxfordshire.

Speaking on the acquisition, Paul Hipkiss, Group Managing Director of The Recruitment Group said: “This is a great milestone for us, as it signifies the next stage of our growth and another great business joining our family. MYNT are like us in that they’re built around providing the best possible service to their candidates and clients. Our combined expertise will bring loads of new opportunities to the people of Yorkshire”

Martin Shaw, Managing Director of MYNT is excited for what the future holds: “We are delighted to be joining The Recruitment Group. When we were looking for a buyer for our business, we needed to find a company that shared our values, focus on customer service and who had the vision matched with the expertise to take MYNT Recruitment to the next stage of our development. I can’t wait to see how our business and employees develop in the future. It’s certainly exciting times and my team and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us”.

 For MYNT Founder, John Stanton who is now leaving the business to retire, the acquisition represents a move to the next level for the company: “As I enter retirement, I am really pleased that Martin and I found a buyer who shares those exact same values and the ethos on which I formed this business back 2004 and I know that whilst we have had great success, that The Recruitment Group will take our team to that next level”
