Connect Appointments has opened a new office in Manchester, creating a stronger presence across Northern England. The site becomes the company’s sixth base in the UK and signals a long-term commitment to one of the country’s most active recruitment regions.
The Manchester operation will deliver locally focused recruitment services for manufacturing, logistics, transport and technical industries. The expansion follows increasing demand from employers in the North seeking reliable and flexible staffing support.
“Expanding into Manchester is an exciting milestone for Connect Appointments,” said William Sim, Managing Director at Connect Appointments. “The North is a thriving region for many of the sectors we support, and having a local presence allows us to serve both new and existing clients with even greater efficiency.”
The branch will be overseen by Adam Turner, Managing Director for Northern England, who will lead a newly appointed regional team. The company said the structure would enable faster response times and closer relationships with businesses across Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.
Turner commented “I’m delighted to be joining Connect Appointments at such an important moment for the business. The North has enormous potential, and our team is ready to deliver the high-quality, dependable recruitment services that Connect is known for. We’re looking forward to supporting local businesses and building long-term partnerships across the region.”
Manchester has seen sustained growth in industrial and technical employment, making it a key location for recruitment providers. Connect Appointments said the decision to expand was shaped by conversations with existing clients and by demand from new organisations looking for specialist workforce solutions.
The company added that the new office would work closely with its other UK locations to share resources and candidate networks. This approach is intended to help employers manage seasonal peaks and skills shortages more effectively.
Connect Appointments ongoing expansion strategy aims to place teams close to the communities they serve. The business said a physical presence in Manchester would help it understand local labour markets and provide more tailored support.
The opening reinforces the firm’s position as a national recruitment partner with regional expertise. Further investment in staff and infrastructure is expected over the coming year as operations in the North develop.
