  • (1888PressRelease) December 08, 2016 - Peoplesource Staffing Solutions announced today that they have successfully completed the acquisition of Shannon Human Resources. This marks their third successful staffing acquisition in two years.

    Peoplesource's acquisition of Shannon Human Resources will expand their workforce solutions to a diverse set of clients as well as expand our geographical reach and make us a leading player in Ottawa, while simultaneously adding strength to their other existing Ontario offices. The combined business will provide expertise in the talent development services sector, enabling them to better serve their clients nationwide.

    "The acquisition of Shannon Human Resources is an integral part of our high-growth consolidation strategy." Says Teri Scott, President of Peoplesource. "This fits very well with our customers' increasing needs for a full range of HR solutions across the nation. They'll add considerable depth to our operations, allowing us to offer a more specialized office and clerical division. Shannon Human Resources also compliments our 2014 and 2015 successful acquisitions of Abacus Resource Group and 500 Staffing."

    "Everybody changes when they become an owner," says Peoplesource and Wish Group CEO Frank Cianciulli. "Their commitment to the business changes and that gets reflected in the work they do; whether it's improving customer service or dedication to their craft, it all leads to higher levels of profitability and a stronger business unit."

    Peoplesource is privately owned and one of the few companies in Canada that give their workers a financial stake in the business - thanks to employee share ownership programs.

    "We believe this is a fantastic match for both organizations and we are pleased to join Peoplesource," commented Shannon Doyle, CEO of Shannon Human Resources. "The team at Shannon Human Resources understands the value of Peoplesource. Shannon Human Resources has been in business for the last 38 years and have shown and proven commitment to improving customer service as well as providing dedication to the craft, it all leads to higher levels of profitability and a stronger business unit."

    Peoplesource believes that a consolidation strategy is ideally suited for the highly fragmented temporary staffing industry, and they'll continue to seek out prospective acquisitions that fit into their existing vision, integrity and culture of the organization. With a longer term objective of driving annual revenues to $100 million, the company's latest acquisition of Shannon Human Resources represents a crucial step of this strategy's successful implementation.
