Encore Personnel in short

Encore Personnel runs its Telford branch from Plough Road in Wellington, covering industrial, warehouse, driving and agricultural roles. The branch address and phone number match across the listings checked, and a live limited company with a record stretching back decades sits behind the name. Its wider branch network stretches across the Midlands and the north.

Customer reviews are the weak point: under four stars on Google from more than a hundred ratings, the lowest score in this round. There is no other review source on record. This review reads that as a genuine caution rather than a blip, given the size of the base.

What else counts against it is access: the company website could not be opened during research, so services rest on the directory profile, and no insurance or pricing detail is published. Our judgement is that Encore Personnel suits employers who know the Wellington branch already.

The branch record rests on directory listings rather than a company site, since the website could not be opened during research. The Plough Road address and phone number match across the listings checked, and the company record runs back decades. Against that, the customer score sits below every other firm in the round across a base too wide to dismiss. Our view is that the file suits an employer who already knows the Wellington counter staff by name.

Questions about Encore Personnel

Is Encore Personnel any good?

Mixed: its Wellington branch covers industrial, warehouse, driving and agricultural roles with a company record stretching back decades, but its Google rating sits below every other firm in the round. It suits employers already familiar with the branch. Read the reviews in full, then ring the branch to discuss your shifts.

Is Encore Personnel on a trade register?

No trade-scheme membership could be sourced for Encore Personnel from the registers, the directory profile or the platforms checked. That is a gap in evidence, not a failing, since no licence applies to general recruitment work. Ask the branch what standards it works to when you enquire. Get the answer alongside written confirmation of its insurance position.

How much does Encore Personnel charge?

It publishes no client fees, rates or VAT terms on the sources checked, so no figure can be quoted here. Describe your cover needs and agree the charge rate in writing before shifts start. Ask for the full terms of business in the same message.
