InterQuest Group, the IT staffing specialist, has announced it is merging InterQuest UK, itís specialist retail recruitment arm, into its PeopleCo brand.

PeopleCo, a highly respected provider of specialist SAP, software development and systems testing staff, will gain a specialism in retail.

PeopleCo, which is headquartered in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, will also benefit from receiving a major boost to its central London presence.

ìMerging InterQuestís expertise into the PeopleCo division gives our clients ñ both customer organisations and job hunters ñ greater choice,î said Emma Gray, general manager at PeopleCo. ìChoice in area, choice in skills and specialisms, choice in candidates and experience and, for the candidates, choice between employers. The two organisations are highly complementary, and weíre looking forward to greater opportunities this merger will bring.î

The move is also vital for improving brand awareness and clarity, according to David Bevan, director of communications for InterQuest Group: ìThis move is designed to bolster the PeopleCo brand and make it easy for customers and contractors to know which part of the InterQuest Group can meet their needs.î
