Orion Group has been named as one of the top 10 UK manpower providers in the rail category of an international recruitment league table.
It’s the first time the Orion Group’s Rail & Training Services division has made the top 10 of The Recruitment International magazine’s Top 250 Report, which examines performance figures of firms during the period from January to December 2011.
The company’s Glasgow-based rail division came ninth in the table, with Orion Group coming 15th overall in the UK after recording an annual turnover of £320 million.
Tom Kennedy, associate director for Orion Rail & Training Services, said: “This is the first time we’ve ever ranked in the top 10 for this category and to say that I am pleased with the news is an understatement.
“The rail division was born out of an acquisition in 2001 and since then Orion Group has continued to invest in us.
“In terms of industry recognition, The Top 250 Report is our Premier League. To be ranked as number nine in this category in the whole of the UK is testament to the hard work we put in to make our business as profitable and successful as possible.”
Orion Group is a world leader in staff provision, supplying key staff to the engineering industry across the globe. The company employs more than 340 staff across eight UK and 19 worldwide offices and has had headquarters in Inverness since its inception in 1987.
