Corporate Responsibility

We’re passionate about supporting great causes in the local community and have a dedicated CSR committee who organise fundraising events throughout the year.

As well as raising money, our team also give up their time to support other events in the community.

We have been supporters of Blackburn Youth Zone since 2013 and became patrons in 2016. We have raised over £50,000 for the charity during this time, organising a variety of fundraising events.

Our most successful event is the annual ‘BYZ Quiz’ supported by businesses across Lancashire.

Our Family of businesses

A little bit of history

  • A young child wearing sunglasses sits at a cluttered office desk with a red mug in hand.

    February 1990 – Where it all began

    Our Chairman began ‘Richard Mellor Recruitment’ in his back bedroom. Here’s Katie (our current MD) prepping for her next meeting.

  • Two men in suits in an office. One is seated at a desk, holding a pen and smiling, while the other is standing beside him, also smiling. The office has a computer, certificates on the wall, and light coming through a window.

    March 1993 – Onwards and upwards

    We moved out of Richard’s back bedroom and into the Gatehouse at GEC off the M65.
