About Us

For over 24 years, TLP Recruitment has operated successfully as a specialist recruitment business, partnering with candidates and clients in the temporary and permanent recruitment market. We’ve seen the recruitment landscape change and evolve, as have we!

Following an MBO in 2011, TLP became part of The Logistics Partnership LLP, an amalgamation of two recruitment brands – TLP and MVP Recruitment Solutions. Our Head Office is located in the Midlands in Droitwich Spa and we have a network of branch locations in the Midlands and South.

Across ‘The Logistics Partnership’ group, we provide recruitment, consultancy and psychometric services to clients and candidates across a wide range of industry sectors. We cover temporary, contract and capacity management, through to interim and permanent middle management and senior level executives.

Testimonials

Victor

“Earlier this year, Gemma helped me secure a new job with a local company. I found her friendly, helpful, professional and supportive in every aspect of the recruitment process. She took a real interest in my employment needs and did everything possible to find me a suitable position   ”

Lyndzi

“I really recommend TLP, Tash got me an interview the next day and the recruitment progress went so smoothly! Was a pleasure to work with such lovely ladies, thank you so much :) ”

Mike Jeffrey, Branch Manager, Sig Roofing Maidstone

“TLP have been supplying my branch with temporary and temp-to-perm staff for over a year now. They are friendly and helpful, visit my business to discuss requirements, and their admin is always efficiently run. I would recommend them to anyone ”

Andy Constable, Head of Operations, Associated British Ports

“We have been using TLP for the past 4 years and have always found them to be proactive in supporting our requirements. TLP always approach our requests in a positive and timely fashion, providing us with solutions that help and support our business whilst providing the flexibility we require.   I would have no hesitation in recommending TLP ”

Simon Fairbank, HR Manager, Bauder Ltd

“Gemma at TLP has been a very busy and positive recruitment partner for us. She makes effort to understand our requirements for each role, team, and the overall business, and always considers feedback to help put forward the candidates that match these requirements ever more closely. ”

Nigel Blown, Operations Manager, London Thamesport

“We are very pleased with the relationship we have with TLP. They are very professional and quick to respond to any requests or questions we have for them. They always endeavour to supply the right calibre of personnel for the vacancies we have and look forward to our continued relationship ”

Darren Nicholls, Currys Snodland

“We have used TLP Recruitment for several years for Office/Warehouse/Delivery staff.  They offer an efficient, reliable and customer friendly service. All of their staff are helpful and very professional as well as easily contactable ”

George Wright, Sales Executive, MSC

“service was top notch. I’ve spoken with many recruitment consultants in my time and from being one myself previously, I can see a clear difference between those that care and those that don’t. Gemma was outstanding, kind, understanding, patient and above-all, knowledgeable! She gave me key points about the interview, a breakdown of the company and she not only sold me to my boss but also highlighted my employers as being the best around, I’ve never been so happy working for a company and often find myself working late just because I enjoy my job and colleagues so much! There’s nothing I could do that would display the gratitude I have to Gemma for the opportunity and service she has given me ”

David Weston, Barsan

“TLP Ilford have worked with us for nearly 4 years, they have been with us from day 1 on a challenging contract in Essex. We need high quality drivers and TLP have and continue to supply excellent drivers. The communication is excellent both by phone and supporting emails. We have a strong working relationship, even on those days when the inevitable happens and we either need more or less. I highly recommend the team. ”

Richard Holehouse, Customer service Manager Southampton, Pentalver

“We have been using TLP services for a while now and they have been extremely helpful.  They always respond extremely quickly and find solutions to any issues we have. They have been especially useful with the current challenges around the job market that the economy has been facing, and have still been able to source a good pool of candidates for us. They recently invited us to attend an event at the Freight Club in London. We met a lot of useful contacts and had a great time.   The guys from TLP could not be more accommodating, the meal was delicious and we heard a fascinating talk from Frank Bruno, who we then met and had photos with.  I could not recommend this enough if you ever get the chance to go! ”

Jo Drury, 1, Coblands Nurseries Ltd

“We have used various Agency companies for our driver requirements over the years before we were introduced to TLP.  TLP exceeded our expectations, where I know other agencies would have failed, they covered if there was an issue all of a sudden - something other agencies could never do at short notice. They have worked hard to give excellent service, calling me to check everything is ok with the driver and listening to any feedback. Taking time to understand the business and our requirements has really helped to find the ideal candidates to drive our vehicles.  I highly recommend TLP.    ”
