CHESTER-BASED Ellis Whittam, a fixed fee employment law and HR specialist, is seeking to boost its workforce with a significant number of new employees.

The announcement comes on the back of a number of business wins for Ellis Whittam as firms increasingly turn to a fixed fee model for their employment law and health and safety advice.

Employees are needed to bolster Ellis Whittam’s finance and commercial teams as well as to support the legal and health ad safety teams which are servicing the new business wins.

All new employees will be based at the company’s headquarters in Aldford.

Deven Thakrar, chief executive of Ellis Whittam, said: “This is an exciting time at Ellis Whittam as we continue to grow strongly and win new business and retain clients on a long-term basis through our value adding and delivering inspirational service approach.

“There is a real positive attitude in the team and we are looking for people who have a similar outlook and who can quickly fit in to the fun, yet hardworking, environment we have at Ellis Whittam.”

In 2009 Ellis Whittam was voted one of The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For.
