Case Study
From Vendor to Valued Partner
How Accept Recruitment transformed its relationship with Vistry Group — one of the UK's leading housebuilders
The Client
Vistry Group is one of the UK's leading housebuilders, delivering thousands of new homes each year across the country. Accept Recruitment and Vistry have a long-standing working relationship built on trust, reliability, and a deep understanding of the construction sector.
For years, Accept was Vistry's go-to provider of quality temporary workers, consistently delivering the people they needed to keep operations running smoothly.
The Challenge
A competitive trial to prove our worth — again.
As Vistry's operations grew rapidly, so did their demand for workers. To manage this increased need, they introduced multiple recruitment agencies into a competitive trial.
Accept Recruitment had to prove its value all over again — not just as a reliable supplier, but as a partner capable of delivering at scale.
The Response: A New Onsite Model
Doubled workforce capacity in just 10 weeks through our embedded onsite model.
Our team placed directly within Vistry's operations, understanding workflows in real time.
Rather than simply competing harder, Accept Recruitment changed the approach entirely. We proposed an embedded onsite model — anticipating staffing needs and responding faster than ever before. This was a fundamental shift: from a transactional "you ask, we supply" relationship to a genuinely integrated partnership.
The Results
Getting the fundamentals right, every single day.
