Estate agency recruitment specialist Rayner Personnel has two new franchisees – both former recruitment consultants with the firm.

The company has awarded its Hertfordshire franchise and a licence for Middlesex to Vicky Tate, with the south-west London franchise, plus licences for north, north-west and west London, to Liam Evans.

Tate joined Rayner Personnel in November 2013 as a junior recruitment consultant and soon worked her way up to senior consultant. Three years later, at the age of just 24, she is now a business owner herself.

Evans joined Rayner Personnel as a recruitment consultant in June 2015 following stints in estate agency and media sales. He experienced the Rayner Personnel service first-hand as a candidate.

Rayner Personnel MD Joshua Rayner said: “Over the time Vicky and Liam have worked for Rayner Personnel they have become exceptional recruiters who are highly regarded by their clients and candidates.

“I am delighted that they have staked their future on Rayner Personnel – having seen the business inside and out, it is the ultimate demonstration of confidence.”
