South West

​A short history of South West's Plymouth branch:

The third regional branch to open was our Plymouth office, located in the beautiful coastal city of Plymouth in April 2010. The branch was originally run remotely from our London Head Office by our Co-founder and Chairman, Marios Georgiou; something many companies have evolved to follow in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.

It has always been our strategy to provide local teachers to local schools and with momentum building, we took the decision to relocate Emma Eatwell and tasked her with opening an office at the Plymouth Science Park (or the Tamar Science Park as it was known at the time). The science and technology park was incorporated in 1995 with two principal stakeholders and founding partners – Plymouth City Council and the University of Plymouth. The science park is situated to the north of Plymouth at Derriford, 7 km from the city centre.

With Rachel returning as the South West Branch Manager, there was a real determination to recruit as many teachers and support staff. Not just to help schools fill the short- and long-term teaching vacancies but to find them their dream job. A quick look at the Branch’s Google reviews is a testament to their hard work over the years.

In April 2022, the nation celebrated as football finally came home thanks to England Women’s football team winning the Euros! The branch demonstrated its passion for active learning among children and particularly girls, by sponsoring Plymouth Argyle’s Women’s and Men’s football team!
