GENESIS PERSONNEL EXPANDS ITS ABERDEEN PRESENCE

Genesis Personnel has completed a £30,000 refurbishment and expansion of its Aberdeen office in response to continual growth.  The 400 sq ft expansion of the firm’s Navigator House office on Aberdeen’s Waterloo Quay, will allow Genesis to increase its presence in the area while also offering an increasingly comprehensive service to both new and existing clients.  Now on two floors, Genesis Personnel, as a professional recruitment and employment agency, supports an international client base providing permanent, temporary and contract personnel to the maritime, oil and gas and energy industries as well as local government and commercial and industrial companies.

The additional space will benefit both clients and candidates, by offering quayside facilities from which to interview prospective employees, update CVs, facilitate safety training for those joining vessels and provide a general area for those looking to find out about latest vacancies in a number of industry sectors. The firm has also purchased a new payroll system which will help improve efficiency, while maintaining existing standards.

Anna-Marie Eardley, Genesis Sales & Marketing Director, said: “Following the rapid expansion we have enjoyed at our Peterhead office, business is steadily increasing for us here in the North-east. We have appointed two additional members of staff in the newly expanded area of our Aberdeen office, as well as two in our Peterhead office, which will ensure we continue to offer a fully comprehensive quality service to all our clients.

We are now in an even better position to offer our clients additional services. By continuing to ensure all requirements are constantly being met, and thanks to the extra space element, we can make sure that selected candidates who are put forward are ready for employment, with medicals complete, safety training implemented along with a comprehensive CV in place.”

With offices in Aberdeen and Peterhead, Genesis Personnel provides recruitment and employment agency services to an international client base.

The company is owned by Seletar Shipping (Scotland) Limited of Aberdeen, Peterhead and Great Yarmouth.
