Global retail IT consultancy and technology firm, REPL Group, part of Accenture, has announced plans to recruit over 100 professionals to its business over the course of the next quarter.
REPL’s recent momentum is representative of a year of historic expansion for the organisation. Q1 of 2021 marked its acquisition by Accenture, a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security, offering unmatched skill specialism and experience in more than 40 industries worldwide. The deal brings together the organisations’ retail and supply chain capabilities to lead the business in its next phase of growth.
The recruitment drive as a result of the acquisition will look to strengthen all departments across the organisation, with a priority focus on hiring talented Business Analysts, Solution Architects, Software Developers, Project and Programme Managers, Data Engineers and Test Engineers, as well as Workforce Management and Supply Chain consultants. Plus the Graduate Programme will continue to seek out promising consultants. Further strengthening REPL’s position in the market is its attainment of the Great Place to Work certification for the second year in a row. The firm ranked 13th on the Best Workplaces list for large organisations (251-1000 employees), up from 58th on the 2020 list for medium sized businesses (51-250 employees). The certification followed rigorous benchmarking against some of the most respected global companies.
Cerys Johnson, CEO, REPL Group, commented: “Our organisation has gone from strength to strength over the last 12 months, reflected by the exciting acquisition by Accenture this year and our future plans to greatly expand our talented team, despite the tough economic circumstances that have recently affected the industry. To not only have been awarded the Great Place to Work accreditation again this year, but also to have risen up the rankings is a fantastic achievement and reflective of the commitment to our people and how they drive everything we do as a business.”
