Celebrating 35 years!

This year, Meridian Business Support proudly celebrates its 35th anniversary! 

Since our founding in 1989, Meridian has become a trusted partner to businesses across multiple sectors, offering a comprehensive range of workforce solutions. 

Over the past three and a half decades, Meridian has expanded from its humble beginnings in Altrincham to become a nationwide recruitment specialist with offices across the UK and a diverse portfolio of clients. The company's success is rooted in its commitment to understanding businesses' unique needs and matching them with the right talent for long-term growth. 

A significant milestone in the company's journey was the successful completion of a management buyout in 2021. This led to the appointment of 11 new shareholders from its Senior Leadership Team and enabled over 50% of Meridian's employees to become share option holders. The translation to employee ownership has been a key driver in Meridian's continued success, fostering collaboration, innovation and dedication within the team. 

"We are incredibly proud of how far we have come in the last 35 years," said Derek Skelton, Meridian's CEO. "Our success is built on a foundation of strong relationships, adaptability and a commitment to delivering the best possible service. The shift to employee ownership has empowered our team, ensuring that these core values shape our future."

Throughout the next 12 months, Meridian will host a series of events to celebrate this milestone and give back to the communities it serves. These activities will include charity partnerships, employee recognition programs, and industry workshops, further demonstrating Meridian's commitment to the UK job market. We look forward to bringing you more news on this shortly. 

"As we look to the future, our focus on innovation, employee engagement and excellent customer service will continue to be at the core of what we do." Added Derek.
