GS Verde advises Abatec Recruitment on acquisition of St David Recruitment

GS Verde has advised on the acquisition of St David Recruitment Services in Cardiff by Abatec Recruitment.

Following the acquisition, Abatec Recruitment, a recruitment firm based in the Southwest, will broaden its service offering to a wider range of clients.

Founded more than 30 years ago by Richard Buchanan and Robert Dyer, Abatec boasts “major” clients in the civil engineering, industrial, IT, and digital sectors.

Meanwhile, recruiting across a range of sectors, from business support, legal, finance, tech and healthcare, St David Recruitment is a premier Cardiff Recruitment agency that was established in 2002.

The acquisition will see St David Recruitment co-founder, Sally Hall, remain with the business in its next stage of growth, operating as usual, with the added support, leadership, and infrastructure of Abatec.

Buchanan said: “At Abatec, we are delighted to have completed this strategic acquisition, as we recognise the exceptional reputation and market position that St David holds. We are extremely excited about the opportunities this acquisition presents”.

Dyer added: “We are pleased to welcome St David Recruitment Services to the Abatec family. We are excited to be able to collaborate with St David and provide an enhanced and extensive service to our clients in both the Southwest, South Wales, and beyond.”
