RANDSTAD, one of the world's largest recruitment organisations, is expanding its network in the South with the opening of an industrial unit.

The move comes hard on the heels of its six new branches, providing operations in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Southampton, Fareham, Portsmouth, Petersfield, Chichester, Basingstoke and Newbury.

Southampton branch manager Becky Hindley said: "Business growth has been the catalyst for expansion and Southampton is a prime example."

She added: "The Southampton branch has grown from two staff to five, and turnover has increased 400 per cent in two years.''
