Who We Are
About Protea Recruitment Group
Protea Recruitment Group is the parent company of a portfolio of specialist recruitment businesses operating across the built environment.
Established in 2025, we bring these businesses together under shared ownership while allowing each one to retain its own identity and direction.
Our main focus is on building recruitment companies with long-term value.
OUR ORIGIN
Built for Long-Term, Sustainable Growth
Protea Recruitment Group was created to support the growth of specialist recruitment businesses operating in complementary markets.
The Group has expanded through organic development and acquisition. This approach has brought together established recruitment brands with strong sector knowledge and experienced local teams.
Today, we are the parent company of five trading businesses. Protea continues to invest in these companies while identifying opportunities to acquire additional businesses that complement the existing portfolio.
Our long-term plan is focused on strengthening the current businesses while continuing to expand through carefully considered acquisitions.
ACTIVE OWNERSHIP
How the Group Operates
Each business within Protea Recruitment Group operates independently, with responsibility for its own strategy and performance.
We provide support where it can create clear value which may include investment and selected shared services. Collaboration is encouraged where it supports the individual business or the wider Group.
Our Partners maintain active directorships across the portfolio. They work closely with leadership teams while allowing day-to-day control to remain within each business.
