Connect Energy’s new office opening, set to be the star of the North!

Connect Group’s commitment to the UK’s power generation market was further strengthened this week by the opening of their new northern recruitment office.

At the core of UK’s Nuclear heartland and with easy access to North West Oil and the countries leading Gas and Petrochemical industries, this office will be based in state of the art offices in Liverpool city centre.

Never short of ambition (listed in The Times ‘Hot 100’ for the last 2 consecutive years), Connect Group have set their sights on being the Energy market’s leading recruitment consultancy within all 4 primary sectors; Oil and Gas, Nuclear, Renewable Energy and Executive Search.

Fundamental success in this highly competitive market, as Connect Group knows from its 7 year experience, is routed in the quality of people that make up their divisional recruitment teams. In Connect Energy there are no exceptions. Their flag ship northern office has successfully attracted some of the sector’s leading consultants and account managers, whose sector specific knowledge is second to none.

Connect Groups CEO, Todd Grondona commented, "The combination of prime location and an industry leading recruitment team, places Connect Energy within easy reach of key northern clients as well as candidates looking for the industry’s best jobs. The ability to capitalize on the opportunity such a venture presents us with in the north, bring us a step closer to realising our dramatic UK expansion plans, whilst delivering exactly what our candidate and clients are looking for; sector specific knowledge, insight, connections, accessibility and highly effective solutions."

The opening of this office compliments the UK division’s mission to have local country presence in every major project they cover. Already operating in over 70 countries throughout, Europe, Eurasia, Central & South East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, this new opening further strengthens their geographical coverage.
