Serving Bicester and the wider Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire area, Fortyplus People is a leading recruitment agency which has been introducing high-calibre candidates to a wide range of businesses in the region since 1995. Fortyplus was originally established to support candidates over 40. Today, the need to champion the benefits of mature workers is even greater, as the UK’s population is ageing, older people are our future workforce and customers. The need to develop a long-term strategic approach to recruiting, retaining and retraining older workers is critical for businesses and we support the Government’s Business Champion for Older Workers strategy and target of 1 million more older workers by 2022. To achieve this, employers need to increase the number of people aged 50-69 in work by 12%.
