Manufacturing, engineering, technical sales and energy recruiter ATA Recruitment has launched a new defence and aerospace division.

The new division builds on ATA’s experience in placing highly skilled technical staff with companies ranging from SMEs to multinationals and sources candidates for roles in the UK, Europe, and North America, as well as to support frontline operations overseas.

Gary Hewett, managing director of ATA Verticals, says: “ATA has many years’ experience providing technically skilled staff to a number of sectors such as rail and engineering.

“Building on this wealth of experience we are now able to place technically skilled candidates in the defence and aerospace sector, which is one of the largest business areas in the UK.”
