Macclesfield recruitment agencies - Agency Central

As such, recruitment is often focused on related areas such as textiles and engineering, but the town also offers job opportunities in a range of commercial and service sectors.

The pharmaceutical firm bases its manufacturing centre at the Hurdsfield industrial estate, by Radnor Mere, and employs around 3,000 staff locally. In fact, manufacturing is one of the most important industries in the Cheshire East area and employment in this field is 3% higher than the UK average. Vacancies are available in other areas though and additional sources of work include the creative, digital and IT sectors.
