ABOUT US
Blue Bull Recruitment was born in 2018 because the recruitment industry had its priorities wrong. Agencies blasting out CVs without reading them. Charging massive fees for candidates who lasted a fortnight. Ghosting both clients and candidates the second things got complicated. It wasn't good enough.
We're Phillipa and Charlie Nicholson. Mother and son. Based in Cheshire. We specialise in manufacturing recruitment across the North West, Wales and UK-wide. We place the people that keep factories running. Production supervisors who can manage a team on a 3-shift rotation. Maintenance technicians who can fault-find at 2am. Quality inspectors who spot the defect before it reaches the customer. Welders who can pass a coded test first time.
We've won 19 industry awards for the way we work. Finalists for Disrupter of the Year at the British Business Awards. But we're a family business with two people and a dog. We're not too big to pick up the phone, and we never will be.
No ghost CVs. No bait-and-switch. No bull.
