PROACTIVE RECRUITMENT LIMITED
Company number SC169725 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Proactive Recruitment Limited is a well-established Scottish niche staffing agency specialising in Distribution & Logistics, demonstrating nearly three decades of trading resilience and conservative financial management with net assets growing steadily to £417,446. While its freehold property base and debt-free structure provide stability uncommon among SME recruitment competitors, the significant 2024 cash drawdown, rising bank facility usage, and recent director transitions warrant monitoring for potential working capital and governance pressures. The company occupies a defensible niche position but lacks the scale to compete for large-volume contracts, leaving it exposed to margin compression from wage inflation and sector-specific demand normalisation in the post-pandemic logistics market.
