AN AGENCY which recruits staff around the world has opened a new branch in north Kent.

Adecco, which already has eight branches throughout the county, provides a one-stop shop for staff and employers.

Clare Singleton, area manager for Adecco, said the Sittingbourne area was becoming more prosperous, with firms seeking temporary and permanent staff.

The agency opened its doors in Sittingbourne High Street with a buffet and jazz band celebration at its offices in Brenchley House.
