In for a penny, in for £200 million!
Grad Central is delighted to hear that West Midlands-based Poundland is breaking the cycle of businesses going under in the recession, after reports of being sold for £200 million due to its successes over the past eight years.
As one of Europe’s largest ‘single price’ discount chain stores with around 3 million customers walking through its doors each week throughout the UK, it is predicting to generate revenues in 2011 of more than £700 million. And what’s more, it’s one business that is continuing to grow during these financially difficult times.
We believe that its success derives from customers wanting value for money, especially in such financially tough times when high street shoppers are looking to save pounds and make the right investments. At Grad Central, we are also seeing the same trend when it comes to businesses looking to invest in new employees.
This year, Grad Central has seen a 50 per cent increase each month in graduate placements because companies have recognised the value of graduate talent. Keen to commit and develop within an organisation so that they can move up the ranks, graduates are a great long-term investment and have the high-level skills and experience that businesses are looking for.
At Grad Central, we recognise that recruitment can be expensive, however, we also understand that finding the right high calibre candidate is crucial. That’s why businesses can utilise our fee-free service and contact our dedicated team of recruitment specialists to discover the best in graduate talent from the region helping any company to succeed, no matter what your budget is.
