Rewards Training Recruitment Consultancy has acquired a controlling interest of Brighton-based recruitment consultancy Thinkwell.

Last November, Thinkwell won the Best Small Business award at the 2002 Sussex Business Awards ceremony.

Marion Ward, chief executive of Haywards Heath-based Rewards, said: "Thinkwell is exactly the quality type of company we need to add to our existing Brighton operation. The strength of Thinkwell's management was a key element in this decision."

Craig Anderson, founder of Thinkwell, said: "My first objective will be to expand the training and workforce development opportunities for both individuals and companies in the Brighton area."
