Staffline Group acquires A La Carte


10 June 2010


Staffline Group PLC of Nottingham has acquired Leicester-based recruitment firm A La Carte for an undisclosed sum.

A La Carte supplies temporary and permanent staff for the food, catering and hospitality sectors. It was founded by brothers Robert and Erik Vitols 20 years ago and currently employs 30 people at its offices in Granby Street.

None of A La Carte’s employees will be affected by the sale and the Vitols brothers are to remain with the business. Its brand identity will also stay the same with A La Carte continuing to concentrate on Leicestershire and the East Midlands.

Staffline, which is listed on AIM, the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market, has more than 130 branches nationally.

Richard Cox, Corporate Partner at Browne Jacobson advised Staffline. He commented: “The acquisition is in line with the Company's strategy of growing its business and broadening its revenue streams by acquiring complementary recruitment businesses.”
