Office People, one of the leading recruitment companies in Sussex, is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a name change to First People.

The company, which has offices in Brighton, Chichester, Horsham and Southwater said the change reflected the scope of its five recruitment divisions, commercial, IT, industrial, technical and catering, rather than Office People, which specified just office recruitment.

Company director David Farrar said: "First People communicates the breadth and values of our services far more clearly than Office People. It encompasses all the business sectors we recruit for.

"It also strongly conveys our commitment to putting people first - not only by finding and selecting the best candidates for a job, but by providing a wholly personal service to our customers.

"The new badge will help us build on our reputation for excellence and on our services in the years to come, without actually changing the way we do things."
