Tower Employment Services (Blackburn)

General information

Originally formed in February 1989 by Paul Stubbs, Tower Employment Services started by supplying mainly HGV, Commercial Vehicle Drivers and general blue collar workers to local transport, distribution and manufacturing companies.

In March 1997 the business became incorporated under West Coast Recruitment Limited. The company continued to grow, and in 2003 its new office in Blackpool opened. The company then adopted the trading name of Tower Employment Services.

In August 2009 Peter Rawlings joined the company. Peter was the company’s business banking manager, and saw the potential the business had. He suggested franchising to allow the business to grow even further, and in 2009 Tower Employment Services Limited was formed to allow for this expansion. Paul and Peter are joint directors with Peter having responsibility for sales operations and the general day to day running of the business. Paul is responsible for all financial aspects of the business.

Today the company has expanded into other areas of the recruitment and jobs market, and now supply a range of services including Industrial, Professional, Commercial, Hospitality and Skilled Tradesmen whilst still retaining and growing its core business of Transport and Logistics. The company also supplies staff on a Temporary or Permanent arrangement. Each department is assigned dedicated consultants with specialist knowledge in their field, so the client really can rely on the best service possible.
