'Fermanagh Training Ltd had been in business for 16 years and had a great reputation as the leading vocational training organisation in the county. In that time, it had built up solid relationships with local employers, local colleges and community groups, and its acquisition represents a great opportunity for Rutledge Joblink to increase its profile in the area.' Said Jonathan Doherty, Managing Director of Rutledge Joblink.

Rutledge Joblink acquired the business and staff and relocated the business to the INTEC Centre in Enniskillen, and has taken on additional premises at the Killyhevlin Industrial Estate.

'This is a strategic gain for Rutledge Joblink. We have added to an already substantial network, we have inherited a skilled, motivated and dynamic staff base, as well as a significant client base and we now plan to grow and develop our business in Enniskillen and across the county. As well as a gain for us, I believe that it is also a gain for the trainees and for local employers in Fermanagh, as we will continue to bring more skilled labour into the workforce. Added Doherty.

Rutledge Joblink specialise in temporary and permanent recruitment within the healthcare, industrial and international recruitment sectors as well as offering vocational training expertise in a range of occupations funded by the Department for Employment and Learning. They currently operate from 19 branches throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and have established offices in Manila and Dubai.

Sharon Fitzpatrick, previously with Fermanagh Training Ltd, and now Branch Manager at the Rutledge Joblink at INTEC, is delighted with the acquisition:
'This is a great opportunity for local trainees and employers to take advantage of the Rutledge Joblink network, in terms of its experience, scale and the strength of its brand name. The vocational training services we offered with Fermanagh Training Ltd, are now coupled with a huge recruitment resource. It's a very strong combination.'
