Manchester opening for Fruition IT heralds start of growth phase

Following a significant investment in November 2023, Leeds-based recruitment company Fruition IT and sister company Fruition Consulting have opened a new office.

The majority investment from private equity firm Erisbeg has led to the new location in Manchester as the brand enters its next phase of growth. 

The office is located at Lincoln Square, Brazennose Street. Fruition IT has hired Joshua Ripley as practice lead to open, run and manage the office alongside founder and CEO Sarah Pawson. 

Ripley will spearhead the company’s launch into the clean technology space as the brand diversifies its offering into new sectors. The business has already recruited three recruiters into the clean technology team, giving this new division 17 years’ combined experience.

Pawson explains: “Why clean technology? Our mission is to empower innovative organisations to transform, protect and future-proof the world as we know it, and technology driving sustainable practices does just that. Our growth – both physical and in specialism – will create further opportunities for all the team at Fruition, as well as new hires, to grow a rewarding, successful career.”
