Expanding Our Reach: Sphere Solutions and Kenton Black Across the UK
Following the acquisition of Kenton Black, Sphere Solutions is proud to showcase the expanded geographic reach of our combined businesses.
Together, we now have a strong network of offices extending from the South West of England and South Wales through the Midlands, North of England and Scotland. This wider footprint gives us an even stronger platform from which to support clients, candidates and projects across the UK.
A Truly National Office Network
Sphere Solutions has built its reputation through strong regional teams with a detailed understanding of their local construction markets.
Our established locations include:
- Cardiff
- Bristol
- Gloucester
- Taunton
- Plymouth
- Truro
- Southampton
- London
- Manchester
The addition of Kenton Black strengthens that network through offices and teams covering:
- Birmingham
- Worcester
- Liverpool
- Leeds
- Aberdeen
- Dundee
This expanded coverage brings together local market knowledge, established relationships and wider national capability.
Local Knowledge, Supported Nationally
Recruitment remains a relationship-led business.
Clients want to work with consultants who understand their region, the local candidate market and the pressures affecting their projects. Candidates also benefit from speaking with recruiters who understand the opportunities available within their area and specialist sector.
Our expanded network allows both businesses to retain that important local approach while drawing on the support, talent pools and expertise of a much wider group.
This means that a requirement originating in one region can be supported through teams and candidate networks across several others.
For clients operating across multiple sites or regions, this provides a more joined-up and consistent recruitment service.
Greater Support for Our Clients
The combined reach of Sphere Solutions and Kenton Black gives clients access to:
- Broader regional and national candidate networks
- Increased recruitment capacity
- Greater specialist sector knowledge
- Improved support for multi-site requirements
- Stronger cross-regional collaboration
- A single group capable of supporting wider workforce plans
Whether a client requires support for one local project or a programme operating across several regions, our teams can work together to provide the people, insight and responsiveness needed.
Our expanded reach also gives us greater visibility of market trends, candidate availability and regional salary or rate expectations, helping clients make better-informed recruitment decisions.
More Opportunities for Candidates
For candidates, our wider network creates access to more clients, projects and career opportunities across the UK.
Someone registered with one of our regional teams may now benefit from opportunities beyond their immediate area, supported by consultants who understand both their skills and the local market they are considering.
This is particularly valuable for candidates who are:
- Open to relocating
- Willing to travel for the right opportunity
- Looking to move into a different specialist sector
- Seeking temporary, freelance or permanent work
- Interested in major regional or national projects
Our aim is not simply to increase the number of roles available. It is to use our combined knowledge to make better matches between people, businesses and opportunities.
Stronger Collaboration Across Both Businesses
The acquisition creates new opportunities for collaboration between Sphere Solutions and Kenton Black.
By sharing market knowledge, candidate networks and client insight, our teams can support each other when requirements extend beyond an individual office or region.
This collaboration strengthens our ability to react quickly, solve difficult recruitment challenges and introduce clients and candidates to opportunities that may previously have sat outside their usual network.
Both businesses retain their individual strengths and established relationships, but now benefit from the greater reach and support of the combined group.
Business as Usual, with More Behind Us
Although our geographic reach has grown, our core approach remains unchanged.
Clients and candidates can continue working with their usual consultants and expect the same relationship-led service, honest communication and specialist support.
The difference is that those relationships are now backed by:
- More offices
- More consultants
- More specialist knowledge
- Deeper talent networks
- Greater national capability
It is business as usual, but with significantly more strength behind us.
Looking Ahead
Our expanded office network represents an exciting step forward for Sphere Solutions and Kenton Black.
It allows us to remain close to the regional markets we serve while strengthening our ability to support recruitment requirements nationally.
From Cardiff to Dundee, Plymouth to Aberdeen, Southampton to Liverpool and London to Leeds, our teams are well positioned to connect talented people with businesses and projects across the UK.
We are proud of the regional foundations both businesses have built and excited about the opportunities our combined reach will create.
Sphere Solutions and Kenton Black — stronger together, with greater reach than ever before.
