Empowering Businesses through People, Enhancing Careers
Our Heritage
Kinetic plc was founded in 1983, a time when flexible working was becoming increasingly important for businesses to manage their workforces in line with their production cycles. Recognising the vast opportunities in the recruitment market, Kinetic plc made the strategic decision to focus on the manufacturing and engineering sectors in the UK. With a strong presence in the North West, where manufacturing is a core part of the economy, Kinetic plc has established itself as a key player in the industry.
Quality and Compliance
Since its inception, Kinetic plc has always prioritised delivering high-quality services to its clients. This commitment to excellence has been recognised by the industry, with certifications from organisations such as ISO 9001 British Quality Standards, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation Audited Gold standard in recruitment, and the British Quality Foundation awards for customer service.
Our People
Kinetic plc is an employee-owned business, with a controlling interest Shareholding transferred to the Kinetic Employee Ownership Trust in April 2018. This move has ensured the long-term independence of the company and has rewarded employees with an equal share of the company's annual trading profits. This commitment to employee ownership is fundamental to Kinetic plc's success and longevity.
Our Values
Kinetic plc's values are built around the concept of "We work together. We are stronger as a team. We all play a part in building our company's success." These values have enabled the organisation to maintain strong relationships with its customers, candidates, and loyal staff. By working together, Kinetic plc continues to innovate and deliver the highest quality service to its clients.
