A South West based human resources consultancy, which has more than 100 branches across three countries, is set to open its first office in Cornwall.
Mike Talbot, a former head of human resources at Swedish furniture company Ikea, will launch the first franchise of The HR Dept in the Duchy.
The branch, based at the Penstraze Business Centre in Truro, will provide outsourced services to SMEs in an area covering Padstow to St Agnes on the north coast, and St Mawes to Fowey in the south.
