Missing the point

This article has been purely written to advertise Interaction Recruitment, rather than report the following very important facts:

Interaction Recruitment did not pay 100 Alexander Maguire, Bognor Regis temporary workers because this branch did not have anywhere near 100 workers at this time. There were around 50, 60 at a push.

Alexander Maguire were previously Staffwise Plc. Staffwise South, Staffwise Nationwide and Revive Nationwide. All part of the same company that phoenixed time and time again over the past three years. In other words, this company regularly went into administration owing some £700,000 to HMRC but was then purchased by the existing owners under a new name. The company has been in Bognor Regis for over ten years.

Alexander Maguire Recruitment was forced into administration by HMRC who entered their head office in Fareham last week and started the process of closing them down. The administrators went into the Bognor Regis office last week and officially closed this location down. They told the Alexander Maguire employees to go home. Some Alexander Maguire clients were immediately informed of what had happened but many were not. Some clients only found out when either their temporary workers failed to arrive at work or when they had received a letter from the administrators.

Since this time, Interaction Recruitment have been in the process of contacting Alexander Maguire’s clients to explain the alleged takeover. There were very few clients left at this point anyway and the largest client left has transferred the Alexander Maguire temporary staff elsewhere.

Taking these facts into consideration there is actually a much deeper and very different story that should have been reported.
