TOWN have announced a new official recruitment partner for 2005-06.

Huddersfield based recruitment agency Stafflex, who have taken over the mantle from Prime Time Recruitment, have entered into an innovative agreement.

Stafflex, who pride themselves on a personal and friendly service, enjoy regional status.

They deal with some of the most respected companies around and supply workers to all types of manufacturing, engineering and distribution companies as well as qualified teaching staff to schools.

Stafflex managing director Brian Stahelin said: "Huddersfield Town have a thoroughbred history and it's a privilege to be associated with them.

"We are all Town fans and, to say we are pleased at being chosen to work in partnership with Town would be an understatement. We're over the moon!

"It is significant to note that The Huddersfield Building Society (now Yorkshire Building Society) was formed in Huddersfield in the 19th century, Town itself in the early 20th and ourselves in the 21st. That covers three centuries, not to mention two millennia."

Town's commercial manager Tracy Nelson said the club were delighted Stafflex were `on board.'

"They have taken sponsorship at the Galpharm for years and this takes our already excellent relationship to the next level," she said.

"It is pleasing because we are aiming to get a handful of quality companies as our premier partners and Stafflex are the first of this season."

n deal sealed: Stafflex managing director Brian Stahelin and colleague Paul Balderstone agree their new Town partnership with the club's commercial manager Tracy Nelson.
