RE Recruitment have sourced candidates including:

• Skilled Technical Operatives
• Lab Assistants
• Commercial Operations
• Designers
• Factory Floor Team

From humble beginnings of enamel plating bicycle components, to processing key components during the war-time, overseas ventures, and the development of advanced problem-solving composite coatings, Poeton Industries has always been at the forefront of surface engineering innovation. Leading research and development facilities, expert engineers, and the latest coating technology ensures they continue to provide the most innovative solution to their clients, and they expect the same from their recruitment partner.

“We’ve worked with Jill and the RE Professional Services Team for over 20 years. As a leading industry specialist with over 120 years of experience, it’s important to us that we work with trusted partners who have the same levels of specialism and deep-rooted knowledge.

RE Recruitment source candidates for us across our Gloucester and Cardiff sites, where quality standards and attention to detail are key. This related to what we deliver for our clients, and we have come to expect RE Recruitment to deliver the same high standards to us. We are pioneers of innovation, always needing to keep our finger on the pulse of the latest developments and trends. This is also a company value that RE mirrors, keeping their team of consultants constantly upskilled and able to share updates and industry knowledge with us where relevant.”
