Thorn Baker Construction acquires Valuestaff.

​We’re delighted to share some exciting news – Thorn Baker Construction has acquired Birmingham-based recruitment agency Valuestaff.

This strategic move strengthens our presence across the Midlands and enhances our Trades & Labour offering, creating what we’re proud to call a true “Midlands super branch”.

The acquisition also marks the return of a familiar face. Gregg Marrett, founder and Managing Director of Valuestaff, is re-joining Thorn Baker, where he first launched our Birmingham office back in 2001. Gregg will now take on a key leadership role, working alongside Andy Jordan to strengthen our Midlands team and bring even more experience and drive to our service.

What does this mean for our clients and candidates?

  • The same people and service you know and trust - just bigger and better.

  • Wider reach and resources, giving clients and candidates more opportunities.

  • Stronger systems and support, including access to Thorn Baker’s Proven Process, payroll, compliance, marketing and credit control teams.

As Gregg says, “Valuestaff and Thorn Baker have always shared the same values – doing things properly, looking after our people, and building long-term partnerships. Coming together gives us the resources and reach to do that on a bigger scale.”

Paul Jackman, CEO of Thorn Baker Group, adds, “This acquisition is about more than growth, it’s about making our service even better. We’re combining great people, great clients, and great systems to create something stronger. It’s a win for our clients, our candidates, and our team.”

For our candidates, this means more roles and opportunities. For our clients, it means a larger, more flexible workforce and even higher service standards.

Welcome to our next chapter – stronger, smarter, and ready for the future.
