Paul Hipkiss, group managing director of The Recruitment Group said: “This is a great milestone for us, as it signifies the next stage of our growth and another great

business joining our family. MYNT are like us in that they are built around providing the best possible service to their candidates and clients. Our combined expertise will bring loads of new opportunities to the people of Yorkshire.”

Formed in 2020, in Derby, it has been concentrated on the Midlands, Wales and Oxfordshire.

Martin Shaw, managing director of MYNT, said: “We are delighted to be joining The Recruitment Group. When we were looking for a buyer for our business, we needed to find a company that shared our values, focus on customer service and who had the vision matched with the expertise to take MYNT Recruitment to the next stage of our development. I can’t wait to see how our business and employees develop in the future. It’s certainly exciting times and my team and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.”

Mr Stanton said: “As I enter retirement, I am really pleased that Martin and I found a buyer who shares those exact same values and the ethos on which I formed this business back 2004 and I know that whilst we have had great success, that The Recruitment Group will take our team to that next level.”
