August 2010

Specialist in-sourced direct recruitment solutions provider, CPH, has signed a new two year RPO contract with Opal, the Talk Talk Group business-to-business communications network operator.

Kathryn Heywood, Opal's Head of HR, said: "We are very pleased with the appointment of CPH as our RPO provider and are confident in establishing an excellent partnership over the next two years. Throughout the selection process CPH consistently demonstrated an understanding of Opal's requirements and were able to differentiate themselves from their competitors".

Jerry Wright, Joint Managing Director of CPH, adds: "We are delighted to have been chosen as Opal's partner and look forward to building a successful relationship in the months ahead. This contract represents another important milestone for CPH as Opal is our first client with their HQ in the North. We are looking forward to expanding our regional business in the months ahead"
