You would be forgiven for thinking that Cheltenham is a laid-back spot thanks to its reputation as a spa town, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Cheltenham is filled with a diverse range of businesses ranging from small start-ups, growing SMEs, to large national corporations and is world famous for its cultural events and festivals, including literature, jazz, science, food, and cricket. The relocation of GCHQ to Cheltenham in 1950 brought a whole new element and expertise to the town which has been flourishing ever since.

Companies operating in Cheltenham are leaders in the manufacturing, engineering, fashion and finance industries. It’s safe to say that growing a business in the Cheltenham area is not only a great idea, but will position you alongside other great companies and business owners and will provide you access to an educated and expert talent pool.

“The Assessment Process, the speed of service, and the quality of the candidates that get put forward. It saves having to go through a whole load of CVs. With Artemis Clarke you get the CVs that are appropriate. One of the standout features of working with a specialist is that you tend to get a good quality set of candidates, and usually more than one good candidate that could do the job. This has happened both times I’ve worked with Artemis Clarke as a client. One of the things that appeals is their Assessment Process. It’s very good. The other thing is that you get a sense that there’s a real understanding of what’s required, not only in terms of the skills, but the type of person required. “
