A NEW hospitality recruitment agency has launched in Shropshire, with a mission to find the right people for every business.

Top Table Personnel offers recruitment in all areas of the hospitality sector, including kitchen and bar staff, chefs, and hotel management. The brand is part of the DMOS People recruitment group based in Shrewsbury.

The business is headed up by Edward Danks and Patrick O'Grady, who have over 30 years of experience in the hospitality sector. The pair met working in a Shrewsbury pub before moving into recruitment. Collectively they have over 14 years of recruitment experience.

Demand for UK hospitality workers has risen by 46 per cent compared to pre-pandemic levels according to ONS data, something which co-director, Patrick O'Grady, wants to help tackle.

Co-director Edward Danks said: “We’re here to help the hospitality sector to thrive, following a problematic period with Brexit, the pandemic and now a cost of living crisis.

“We want hospitality businesses to be able to offer a great service, not a rushed, understaffed one. Our mission is to find the right people for every business to help improve staff retention.”
