“Having our cash flow and administration running perfectly was vital to our launch, growth and success”
Barry Griffiths recognised the need for flexible, cost effective, recruitment strategies in the driving and logistics sector.
With the backing of The Recruit Venture Group he’s been able to develop a business offering an unparalleled level of service to large and small businesses.
“The Recruit Venture Group provided finance, systems and an industry leading back office operation. It meant I could get on with what I needed to do; grow my business.
“You can’t grow a recruitment business unless you can get out there to find clients and develop a pool of candidates. To do that you have to know that the office is operating smoothly and reliably.
“Having our cash flow and administration running perfectly was vital to our launch, growth and success”.




When Barry Griffiths launched Barr Personnel he had a clear vision. Like many recruitment professionals, he was driven by the desire to run his own business. But he also knew exactly where he wanted to focus his efforts.
His business is now known throughout the region as the premier recruiter in driving and logistics. He sees The Recruit Venture Group as key to his success.
“This is a route to starting up that I’d recommend to any recruitment professional who wants to do it their own way.
