A human resources consultancy in Huddersfield has linked up another business across the Pennines.

Shepley-based JCS HR, owned by Julie Sykes, has joined forces with Oldham-based consultancy The HR Company, led by Amanda Longden, to provide extra capacity when either company requires assistance.

JCS HR provides HR services to companies of all sizes throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire.

The new arrangement provides both businesses with additional resources when workloads or the size of contract requires it.
