Thompson & Leigh are an independent plumbers’ merchant and bathroom showroom business based in Kent. Established for just under forty years, they have a wealth of industry experience. The business evolved from fireplace manufacturer to supplying plumbing and sanitary ware to the building trade. It is still a family business with four Thompson & Leigh branches consisting of two trade counters and two 4000sq foot bathroom showrooms.
Ian Thompson, Director at Thompson and Leigh, has used Simon Acres Group to provide both training and recruitment support services. He explains why he chose Simon Acres Group and why he would use them again in the future.
“We chose Simon Acres Group to provide our online training as it was tailored to our industry needs. There is plenty of training on offer in the market place but much of it is generic and not specific to us. It was easy for the staff to access and the feedback from those who completed it was good.
“The Simon Acres Group are so involved in our sector and up to date with trends and developments that we are confident that they will be able to provide further training for us when we need it.
“Finding the right people for your business is crucial when you have built a reputation for offering expert knowledge and friendly staff. We have had great results using the talent acquisition service team at Simon Acres Recruitment because they understand our industry and have access to a good range of people for the showroom side of our business.
“I would happily recommend Simon Acres Group to others looking for recruitment and training support services from a company that understands our business and can deliver tailored solutions.”
