AN Edinburgh-based firm has been named among the fastest growing businesses in the UK.
Core-Asset Consulting has been named in the Recruiters Fast 50 list which puts the firm among the UK’s top performing recruitment businesses in the past year.
The Edinburgh-based firm, which was founded by entrepreneur Betsy Williamson in 2005, had a compound annual growth rate of 32% in the last year with revenue reaching more than £26,000,000.
Williamson (below), who serves as chief executive of the firm, said: “Our ability to retain and attract clients is simply down to our capacity to provide an unrivalled level of quality service.
“In recent years we have placed more than 2000 professionals into roles, and along with this vast amount of work, we have maintained an excellent approval rating which has made us stand out in the recruitment sector.
“Many of our clients are long standing partnerships, based on trust and our expertise. I’m really pleased to see that this excellent service has translated into an impressive period of growth.”
Core-Asset was placed 17th out of 50 in this year’s rankings. A major contributor to the success is the firm’s solutions team which helps supply interim, temporary and contract staff to the Scottish financial sector.
Managing director Mike Stirton said: “The solutions team have worked tirelessly to ensure that we deliver a level of service which exceeds our clients’ expectations.

“This has allowed us to build our fantastic reputation to attract and retain new business. I’m really pleased to see that not only my departments, but the entire company’s hard work has translated into exceptional growth underpinning our position as an industry leader.
“We have now set a high standard for ourselves to follow and going forward we will be looking to build on this success to ensure our clients get the very best service.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
