A recruitment specialist who ran her own business for nine years has joined the team at Major Recruitment in Huddersfield.

Nicky Battye has closed Boomerang Recruitment to take up the post of senior technical consultant at Major Recruitment’s offices in Market Avenue.

Nicky, who has taken her clients with her, will be responsible for further developing Major Recruitment’s technical division across West Yorkshire, which covers blue and white collar staff in the engineering field up to management level.

Said Nicky: “At Boomerang, I dealt with every discipline, but I decided to close the business because of the opportunity to join a family firm and focus on one discipline.”

Katie Nebard, director of Major Recruitment, said: “We are delighted to have someone of Nicky’s level of experience on board.”

Major Recruitment was launched 22 years ago in Morley mainly to handle industrial recruitment, but has expanded over the years to run five division covering industrial, technical, commercial, energy and healthcare.

It has offices in Huddersfield, Leeds, Doncaster and Wakefield as well as three sites in the North West.
