Bluestones Group has completed another strategic acquisition, with Dynamite Recruitment becoming the latest business to join the Group’s portfolio of recruitment and staffing services businesses.

Coinciding with the move, Fran Curtis and Katie Dalgleish – with nearly 20 years’ collective tenure with Dynamite Recruitment between them – will become joint Managing Directors. Headquartered in Portsmouth with 11 employees, Dynamite Recruitment is a successful multi-sector recruitment company, originally established in 2011. The Dynamite team recruit temporary and permanent personnel across the commercial, retail, technical, accountancy & finance, and financial services sectors; and provides RPO and outsourcing support for selected clients too.

Bluestones Group CEO, Steve Pendergast commented:

“Acquisitions continue to be one of the three primary growth vectors for the Group. Dynamite is well-structured, has strong client and candidate relationships, and we believe that with our support and investment can continue to grow at pace. I look forward to seeing the business evolve and scale”.

Divisional CEO, Matt Cody commented:

“We identified Dynamite Recruitment as an acquisition target and have worked at pace to complete the deal quickly, acquiring 100% of the business. Bringing the business into the Bluestones portfolio, we will work the new joint Managing Directors Fran and Katie to fully integrate the company into the Bluestones Group world and support its future growth”.

Bluestones Group has been firmly on the acquisition trail this year, and this is the eighth such business that has been acquired this calendar year. Bluestones invests in recruitment and staffing services businesses and has developed an enviable portfolio of over 30 businesses across a range of sectors and locations.
