David was so impressed with Select Appointment service he invested in a franchise of his own
David and Jenny chose Select Franchising as “they were the only serious recruitment players in the franchise market.”
When he was working as a Management Consultant, David Nield used a Select Appointments’ franchise office to recruit staff. He was so impressed with their service he invested in a franchise of his own in Portsmouth together with his wife Jenny in March 2007. Just over a year later they acquired a second territory in Bournemouth.
David’s interest in recruitment was initially started by a niche recruitment consultancy in London that was a client of his. Whilst working with them he came to enjoy the industry and the people so much that he decided to start his own recruitment business.
Initially the couple thought about setting up on their own. However, in order to establish the business more quickly and focus on sales they elected to purchase a franchise because of the back office support and brand recognition they offered.
David and Jenny chose Select Franchising as “they were the only serious recruitment players in the franchise market.” On a day-to-day basis they benefit from HR and payroll services, staff training and development, business and marketing support, 60 day invoice discounting and franchisee seminars.
Managing both offices in a hands-on capacity has paid dividends for David as he has a loyal and dedicated team. In turn their commitment and professionalism has built long-term client relationships, aided by events such as the recruitment networking event they hosted at the Spinnaker Tower. They are now able to boast being the number one supplier to the largest commercial employer in Portsmouth.
These factors, together with sheer determination, made Portsmouth the most successful new business in gross profit terms in its first year of trading of any of the Select Franchising brands ever.
Success breeds success and David is looking forward to a rewarding year ahead for his colleagues, clients and candidates as well as for himself and Jenny.
