A multi-award-winning recruitment firm has pledged to help the Dorset Chamber bang the drum for the county’s businesses.

Mploy Staffing Solutions has taken on a new role with the chamber – the county’s voice of business – as a Platinum Business Partner.

The expanding firm, founded in 2001, is based in Poole and has seven branches in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, with 62 employees.

Dorset Chamber’s Platinum Business Partners programme is for members which wish to make a greater contribution to the organisation and the business community.

Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “Having the right people in place is vital for any organisation.

“Business Partners gave the Chamber great strength, influence and support, so we are delighted to welcome a firm of the calibre of Mploy to the programme.”

Mploy won the prestigious Company of the Year title at last year’s Dorset Business Awards.

It was also recognised as one of the Best Small Companies to Work For in the Sunday Times’ Top 100 in 2019, ranking at number 30.

In a further accolade, the firm was ranked third in Insider Media’s Best Companies to Work for in the South West.

Mark Nash, Co-Founder and Finance Director, said: “We are delighted to become a Platinum Business Partner with the Dorset Chamber, promoting business interests across and beyond our region.

“Providing an overarching voice for the business community throughout the county is increasingly important, ensuring that local businesses are in prime position to take advantage of the many new opportunities which arise within Dorset.”

He added: “As the leading, multiple award-winning recruitment agency in the South West and Dorset Business Awards’ Company of The Year 2019, it is fitting that we should support an organisation which helps advise, support and promote not only our business clients but many other businesses throughout Dorset.”

Mploy was founded by Mark along with Matt Swift and Daniel Keogh.

Dorset Chamber – the county’s leading business support organisation – has more than 700 members with more than 37,000 employers.
