Engineering and Manufacturing
In February 1986 Geoff Densem placed into work one of the very first temporary staff into the Engineering sector in Christchurch while working at a multinational recruitment company.
After 18 months Geoff realised that a lot of the philosophies and principles he was working to were not in line with his personal principles and concept of good practice.
In September 1987 he registered Advanced Personnel Services, and the engineering division was the foundation of where Advanced Personnel is today.
"The key difference of why the company grew so quickly is still one of the main reasons why Advanced Personnel is so successful today. Our consultants come from a solid backgrounds within the industry they recruit for"
As example of this, Geoff was himself a trade Qualified Fitter and Turner
