Shorterm secures Kehoe's future...
Kehoe Rail Services, after a long trading history as specialists in the provision of rail services, direct to a host of key clients such as Network Rail, London Underground and mainstream construction workers called in the Administrators early in 2013.
Paul Kehoe, owner of Kehoe Rail Services was already in advanced discussions with Shorterm Group regarding a merger, when the funding position of Kehoe altered dramatically.
Operating under very tight timeframes, the Shorterm Group were able to obtain the licence, secure the future of the contract workforce - now operating their payroll. To provide security not just to Kehoe’s clients, but to the back office staff: Shorterm are now employing all back office and support staff.
This has been a seamless transfer and has not resulted in a single failure for any of Kehoe’s staff, clients or contractors. The team are delighted to be part of The Shorterm Group. Commenting on this, Paul Kehoe says “Having already selected Shorterm Group as our partner in 2012, I am able to be confident that this arrangement is the right one for our business: our clients are protected; our contractors are being paid; and our staff are not facing redundancy. I look forward to a long future with The Shorterm Group.”
Steve Gallucci, CEO of Shorterm Group says “Operating this business complements our existing rail offerings ensuring our clients a full service, even in highly specialist sectors. It complements our business model and we are delighted to have Paul and his team on board already."
Shorterm Group is a leading specialist recruiter and supplier of technical staff, professional engineers, skilled trades staff and commercial and industrial workers.
