Following the acquisition of Oval Deene Recruitment in 2024, Simon Acres Group has invested in additional office space to support Oval Deene’s continued growth and strengthen its specialist recruitment services. Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, the new office gives the group a southern base in addition to Simon Acres Group’s current headquarters in Northamptonshire.

The group is also welcoming two new team members to further enhance its recruitment services.

It’s exciting to have additional premises, which not only widens our options geographically, but reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality, specialist recruitment services. We’re also pleased to welcome Tyler and Ellie to the team.
