Customer Win

New long term agreement secured with major automotive manufacturer

Staffline (AIM: STAF), the recruitment and training group, is pleased to announce that its Recruitment GB division has, subject to contract, successfully secured a long-term agreement with BMW Group (BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars) to supply the flexible operational workforces and a number of specialist roles for its manufacturing sites in England.

It is anticipated that the contract will commence in Q2 2022 and BMW Group will become one of Staffline's top 5 clients. Management also believes that this contract, combined with the notable increases in demand that are evident across Staffline's core automotive and automotive supply chain services, will see the Group's activity within this segment return to pre-pandemic levels from H2 2022 onwards.

Albert Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Staffline, commented:

"We are delighted to have secured such a strategically important contract for the Group, not just because we expect BMW to become a key customer, but also as it provides material evidence of resurgence in a sector which historically has been an important growth engine for our business."

"This win, alongside the strong pipeline of opportunities currently being pursued across the Group, is further evidence of our strategy to leverage our strengthened financial position and continue to expand our operational footprint to grow market share in action and underpins expectations for the year."
