ORB swoops for specialist construction recruitment firm

ORB Recruitment, a multi-sector recruitment agency in Doncaster, has acquired CLS Construction Labour Solutions (UK) Infrastructure, a specialist in construction and civil engineering recruitment.

This strategic acquisition, completed for an undisclosed fee, marks a significant milestone in ORB’s growth strategy, strengthening its position in the construction recruitment market and expanding its service offerings to clients across the UK.

CLS, established in 1999 and based in Normanton, brings 25 years of expertise in the construction and civils sector, along with a database of over 50,000 active contractors. The company is known for its strong relationships with Tier 1 contractors throughout the United Kingdom.

Stewart Olsen, CEO of ORB Recruitment, said: “The acquisition of CLS by ORB is an exciting opportunity to expand our footprint within the construction industry. CLS’s excellent reputation and deep industry knowledge perfectly complement ORB’s existing strengths.

“By combining our resources and expertise, we’re poised to deliver even greater value to our clients and candidates in the construction sector and beyond.”

The acquisition will see CLS continue to operate under its own brand name, maintaining its identity and client relationships while benefiting from ORB Recruitment’s financial backing and resources. ORB plans to invest in CLS’s growth, with intentions to increase the headcount at the Normanton office by two before the end of the year, bringing the total staff to seven.

This acquisition comes at a time of growth for ORB Recruitment, which has recently expanded its permanent recruitment capabilities. It currently employs 14 staff and is set to increase to 15 before the end of the year.
