Nick Cragg, Craig Buckingham and Roger Frost have announced the formation of an entirely new specialist recruitment and staffing solutions company called Aristotle Partnerships, according to the firm.

The new enlarged group will comprise Nicholas Associates Group (NAG), Red Rock Partnership (RRP) and Syntax Consultancy (Syntax), with all brands continuing to operate under their trading names and maintain their existing brand identity.

Aristotle Partnerships brands will now be able to offer apprentice and graduate placement and recruitment, blue and white collar flexible, temporary and permanent recruitment, engineering, IT, finance & HR, executive search, IT consultancy, digital learning and development consultancy, and HR management software solutions.

Nick Cragg founded Nicholas Associates Group in 1977, initially supplying site engineers to the construction industry. Through diversification, organic growth and acquisitions NAG now offers apprentice to boardroom talent management solutions.
