TES Expansion Plans

• Until now, TES has specialised only in
  Clerical/Administrative support
• We are now expanding into IT to be able to
  increase our bank of IT temporary workers so that
  we can offer a professional and quality assured
  temporary IT service.
• We will be taking part in a marketing campaign
  very soon so that the Departments and Colleges
  are aware that TES is now able to fill IT roles
• We are also expanding into Finance and Catering

Why Come to TES?

• TES has worked steadfast to improve its service,
  its resource bank, and internal processes to be
  more effective. TES is now stronger to respond
  to the needs of the University and to expand into
  other areas, such as IT.
• We have just gone through a retendering process
  to chose our preferred suppliers of temporary
  workers. Therefore, if TES is unable to meet your
  temporary staffing needs, we will send your
  request onto our preferred suppliers who will be
  able to help.
• This means that we have ensured that you, the
  Departments, are getting the best value for money
  from an agency with the ability to provide
  suitable and checked temporary workers to meet
  University needs, ability to meet insurance and
  payment terms, adherence to legislation and
  quality of service.
• We are developing an online job request form,
  creating a one-stop-shop-this will be live by
  the end of June as we will let you know when it
  is ready to use.
