24/7 - Looking to recruit 100 new staff
HOMEFIX 24/7, the Middlesbrough-based emergency call-out and repair business, wants to add 100 new employees to its Teesside workforce as part of a nationwide expansion.
The company, which already employs 220 people in the area, will start employing call centre staff and tradesmen across the area in January with the hope of growing to 320 employees by the end of the month.
Established by Manchester-based parent company Mainframe in November 2009, Homefix 24/7 employs 60 people at its Middlesbrough head office and a further 160 in its main UK depot in Stockton.
The company was the brainchild of Mainframe field sales executive Alisdair Beveridge, business development manager for Homefix 24/7. He said: “The recent cold snap has been a successful time for Homefix 24/7 and confirmed that the business model works even in extreme situations, as we saw a 60% rise in calls. 2010 has been a very good year for the business and we are looking to build upon that in 2011.”
Managing director Gordon McWhinney said: “With 15,000 homes already signed up to service contracts, we are looking for tradesmen across the country. There are many people with skills such as plumbing and electrical repairs who are out of work, so we know that there is a workforce ready to be employed and become part of the Homefix 24/7 team.”
