Relocating the company's Manchester office to a "prime location" in Salford Quays, the move facilitates Swift's continued growth as they support workers with finding employment positions during the cost of living crisis.

Their larger premises will allow the company to further expand and focus on placing workers in the Industrial, Food, Engineering, Transport and Commercial sectors in both temporary and permanent roles.

Managing Director David Cottington, from St Helens, said: ‘We’re delighted to move to our new office in Salford Quays, which is double the size of our previous office in Manchester.

"We are currently in the peak season for our clients as they prepare for additional demand ahead of Christmas and Black Friday.

"As businesses look to scale their staff numbers up to cope with increased seasonal demand, we are really excited to help local people get back into work.

"Although the business landscape across the entirety of the North West continues to change, we have an incredible range of quality candidates ready to support businesses with immediate effect.

‘‘Having lived in St Helens and the North West for my whole life, it’s a personal ambition of mine to help local people back into work during these unprecedented economic circumstances which we are all facing.

"We’ve already got clients on board offering immediate starts for local people and we hope that lots more local people come forward to join our existing candidate pool."
