Nine Years of Trust
How Accept Recruitment transformed Poundstretcher's distribution operation — from underdog to sole supplier
The Beginning
In 2017, Accept Recruitment walked into Poundstretcher's distribution centre as the new agency — the underdog. Poundstretcher already had a long-standing recruitment partner in place.
Accept had everything to prove and nothing to fall back on.
The Approach
More than just another supplier.
From day one, Accept Recruitment set out to be different. We placed a dedicated manager on-site, embedded within the daily operation, learning the workflows and understanding the challenges first-hand.
This wasn't about waiting for instructions. It was about identifying opportunities to make the whole operation better — and then delivering on them.
Key Initiatives
Carried out at Accept's own expense, identifying inefficiencies in warehouse picking processes and presenting practical solutions.
Replacing guesswork with live data, giving managers complete visibility of who was on-site and hours worked at any moment.
Building relationships and trust through eight years of daily, reliable delivery — on the ground, every single day.
The Turning Point
2025: From underdog to sole supplier.
By 2025, Poundstretcher's business had grown significantly, and demand was outstripping what their original supplier could handle.
After eight years of consistently going above and beyond, Accept Recruitment was appointed as the sole recruitment supplier for the entire distribution centre.
The Results
The impact of this partnership speaks for itself.
The Partnership Journey
"Accept Recruitment's success wasn't built on a single moment or a flashy pitch. It was built on commitment — showing up every day, doing what they said they would."— Poundstretcher Distribution Centre
The Impact
That relentless consistency turned a challenger appointment into a sole-supplier partnership, and an underperforming operation into one running at three times its original capacity.
When you prove yourself every single day for nearly a decade, trust becomes absolute.
