Our management team have over 30 years aftermarket sales, marketing and general management experience which gives us a unique understanding of both our clients and candidates needs and expectations. Edwards Jeffery will benefit from the additional resource and expertise of a larger aftermarket consultancy group. This will allow for continued growth making Edwards Jeffery the premier provider for automotive staff."

Farren said the company will continue to operate under the Edwards Jeffery name.
