Early in Futures’ life, we adopted specialist consultants operating in niche areas such as Adult Social Care & Children’s Services (Care Futures) and School Improvement and SEN (Education Futures). Operating in these sectors, Futures soon became a unique and thriving recruitment business. With the experience, expertise and network of contacts that we cultivated, we began to offer a completely unique range of specialist recruitment and consultancy services.
We soon found that Futures was growing to specialise in four sectors: Public Sector, Education, Manufacturing, and Food & Drink. These were the areas in which our expertise grew enough for us to deliver our unique and specialist people solutions, interim management and project solution services to an incredibly high standard. Even today, Futures is split into these four sectors: Futures Public Sector, Futures Education, Futures Manufacturing and Futures Food & Drink. Each is run by our expert recruiters, boasting some of the best experience and contacts in the business.
By focussing on these particular specialisms, Futures has been able to continue to grow and become a thriving and unique recruitment business. We offer expert and insightful solutions, aimed at delivering the precise needs of both clients and candidates. Our team is full of experienced professionals who love what they do.
