Quest has come from small beginnings, we started off in 1994 as a one-man band. Quest employs 50 people across 3 UK offices
The initial aim was to fill a gap in the market in recruiting for retail head office roles which at that time was an expanding sector.
Within a short time, Quest established itself as a major presence in its marketplace and, as a result, we grew in headcount and moved into bigger offices in West London. By 1998, Quest identified an opportunity in the FMCG and broader commercial and manufacturing sectors, and so established a new division to service suppliers into retail.
Within a few years, Quest was growing again and we added to our portfolio a stores and operations division, a graduates division and a fashion manufacturing division. It was here that we were established as an agency that could provide staff across all areas of a business, not just for several departments.
In 2004 Quest was accredited the Investors in People Award and was re-awarded it in 2006 as a recognition of our continuous internal drive to align the development of our people with business goals.
Our most recent new venture has been the creation of an international desk which recruits retail opportunities worldwide.
Quest is a successful, leading and still privately owned recruitment consultancy. We are considered a specialist generalist consultancy to the consumer marketplace, and a full service agency offering industry leading recruitment and outsourcing solutions. Despite being so well established, we are always looking to maintain the competitive edge and to stay ahead of the game, and plans for the future are considerable, so watch this space!
