Lily Shippen Recruitment Agency | Lily Shippen Opens Leeds Office

New contracts have been the driving factor for Lily Shippen Recruitment to open a third office in the heart of Leeds on East Parade, giving further scope for growth in the Yorkshire region.

Lily Shippen Recruitment, launched in Manchester in 2017 by specialist recruiter Lily Shippen, places high calibre secretarial professionals including Receptionists, Team Assistants, Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants and Office Managers into all sectors including Financial Services, Legal, Property, Professional Services and Media.

While winning new contracts was the motivating factor to expand the operation across the Pennines, Lily believes Leeds is the perfect location for the business:

“Last year Leeds was ranked as the fifth best performing city in the UK for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and continues to attract important inward investment reflecting continued confidence in the region.

“Outside of London, Leeds is the UK’s largest centre for financial and business services. The vibrant city offering and increasing employment opportunities as well as the growing financial and services sector are   helping to attract fresh talent to the region.

“By focusing purely on support staff roles, we have developed a deep understanding of our clients’ individual needs, matching each position with the best possible candidate. We also meet every candidate and client that we work with which is invaluable”.

In October last year, Channel 4 announced it had chosen Leeds for its new national headquarters beating rival bids from Birmingham and Greater Manchester.
