Australian recruitment firm expands in UK
TMS Asia-Pacific has joined forces with London-based hospitality industry recruitment specialist Collins King & Associates to further strengthen its UK profile.
TMS CEO Gary Marshall said the agreement would give TMS a bigger reach into the UK’s highly specialised hospitality industry recruitment market.
The move also gains TMS its first aceess into continental Europe via its new partner’s Dutch associates.
Marshall said the new venture was a “mirror” of an existing agreement TMS established in the UK last November with the C&M Group.
“While the agreement with C&M gave TMS access to an expansive travel recruitment and training agency network, the relationship with Collins King provides us with an expert insight and entry into the UK’s burgeoning hospitality sector,” he said.
Under the agreement, TMS and Collins King will pool resources on a wide number of co-operative applications – information sharing, collaboration on strategy, research and promotional activity.
Marshall said the agreement also extended to education and training.
The Collins King agreement follows a similar agreement last month between TMS and Dubai-based The Hospitality Company which saw TMS gain its first foothold in the Middle East.
