Specialist Hull IT recruitment firm GB Recruitment has relocated to the city’s C4DI tech hub after a year of significant growth.
The business, which works with major customers including Capita, NFU Mutual and De Beers, has seen revenue soar by 40 per cent.
GB Recruitment, which turned three in May, has now moved into the heart of Hull’s tech campus, as it looks to build on its success.
Antonio Tombanane, managing director at GB IT Recruitment, said: “I see this as a huge step in the right direction for GB recruitment.
“GB have witnessed tremendous growth with an increase of over 40 per cent in revenue.
“Finding the right creative space in which my team could continue to grow was extremely important to me.”
GB Recruitment has also taken on two new recruits in the past year, and plans to expand its team further in 2020.
The firm hopes the move to Hull’s C4DI will help GB Recruitment collaborate with the building’s other leading tech businesses.
