Since moving to 50,000 sq ft new premises in Basildon, Ironmongery Direct has taken on an influx of new recruits, including the recent appointment of Karla Matthew as HR and payroll co-ordinator.
The ironmongery supplier's MD Wayne Lysaght-Mason said: "Recruiting expert staff at all levels to join our award winning team is a key part of our growth strategy."

With scope to house 250 staff and ambitious plans for turnover to reach £50m in a few years, recruitment within the company is set to continue.

"Our entire operating model is based around customer needs and increasing customer satisfaction and the dedicated team at IronmongeryDirect is key to this," Mr Lysaght-Mason added.
