Gas safety consultants CORGI Technical Services and multi-sector recruiter Pertemps have launched CORGI Recruitment, a new recruitment organisation formed specifically to serve the gas and renewable industry.

The new organisation will cater to the needs of all parts of the gas and renewable industry.

CORGI Technical Services joint chief executive, Bill Paton, says: “There has definitely been a gap in the market for this type of offer; I can speak from personal experience of the enormous difficulties encountered in, for example, mass recruitment of engineers in an extremely competitive environment.”

Pertemps business development manager, Carey Munn, adds: “When researching the sector one of the recurring themes was that operational managers wanted service providers that could effectively carry out the professional recruitment practices.

“What they searched for and could not find was such a provider that actually understood the practicalities of the gas industry at whatever level and one that tailored its offer to closely match those requirements.’’
