BUILDING THE MIDLANDS’ LEADING DRIVING & LOGISTICS AGENCY
Rob Tomlinson built a successful multi-million-pound recruitment business in just two years with the support of The Recruit Venture Group.
Rob’s business – Tomlin Personnel – is based in Nottingham and provides recruitment services for the driving and logistics sectors across the Midlands.
Tomlin’s Managing Director decided to start his own business after working in the recruitment sector since 2010. He had worked in the financial services sector before that.
The business prides itself of being able to offer quality logistics staff, quickly, thanks to its 24-hour operation and ability to contact high quality candidates.

“I wanted to be able to focus on recruitment, I wanted to be able to spend time meeting candidates and talking with clients. “
“The Recruit Venture Group’s support structures were geared up to support our growth, everything we needed to grow quickly was in place and as a result I have built a successful business and achieved far more than I thought possible.
“We have a 24 hour operation, because that it what our clients need, and The Recruit Venture Group allow us to provide a first class service at any time of the day or night.
“Every resource we need is always available or signposted and I am delighted with how the partnership works, it allows me to focus on what I do best and be confident that I can deliver for my clients.”
When deciding to set up on his own, Rob knew he didn’t want to get bogged down in the back office side of his business. He didn’t want to be spending valuable time chasing invoices or sorting IT issues.




Instead, he wanted to be doing what he did best because he knew doing that is what would allow his business grow.
He said: “I wanted to be able to focus on recruitment, I wanted to be able to spend time meeting candidates and talking with clients.
“The Recruit Venture Group give me the time I need to be a recruiter, to do what I have always done while they help to deal with the time consuming back office parts of the business.
“I would definitely recommend The Recruit Venture Group and their joint venture model to other recruitment consultants.”
