The duo who are joined by wives Jessica Mills and Natalie Fernihough, have a unique understanding of both the client and the candidate markets within the MPS/print industry. FSG, which is based in Wombourne near Wolverhampton, has a ‘discipline focused’ approach to recruitment. In the first six months of trading, it has successfully carved out success filling field-based sales and service roles within a number of sectors including the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The company is shortly bringing another two recruits on board and is now formally unveiling the launch of its dedicated MPS division which Mills says will be its key focus area moving forward. Dedicated MPS division Mills, who previously worked alongside Natalie, has enjoyed significant success recruiting field service and sales staff for both OEMs and resellers operating within the office equipment sector. His core specialism has been in placing engineers in key roles nationwide.

We will be hiring new staff each quarter and each new hire will be a specialist within their sector,” he said.
