Andrew Anastasiou founds PPR with a vision to revolutionise recruitment in the public sector. Committed to filling gaps in sectors with skills shortages, and areas facing socioeconomic challenges, PPR is all about growth that’s both rapid and sustainable.

The first 100 placements marked a pivotal moment in PPR’s journey. This achievement signalled not only our expanding London-based team but also the growing trust and satisfaction among social workers across the UK, driven by our unique approach to recruitment in the social care sector.

Growth continues with a new office in Warrington, extending PPR’s reach into the north-west. This move reflects our focus on expansion and our commitment to clients and candidates – wherever they are.

Andrew’s teaching background comes full circle with the acquisition of Pertemps Education, a move that strengthens PPR’s presence in education recruitment. This expansion reflects our commitment to serving schools across the south-east with skilled professionals and exceptional service.

PPR acquires Hourglass Education, a leading recruitment consultancy specialising in permanent teaching roles, international candidates, and leadership appointments. With Pertemps Education, PPR establishes a comprehensive education recruitment offering.

PPR takes its commitment to clients a step further by launching Equinox Consulting. With a focus on mid-level management consultancy, executive search, and recruitment solutions, Equinox tackles the most complex problems our social care clients face.

PPR is named Pertemps’ ‘Business of the Year,’ and Andrew Anastasiou is crowned ‘Agency Recruitment Leader of the Year’ at the Recruiter Awards – recognition of the team’s hard work, growth, and industry impact.

PPR launches Vitalis to meet the pressing need for exceptional social workers and public sector professionals. With a focus on expertise, networking, and innovation, Vitalis is poised to shape the future of recruitment in this vital sector.
