PeoplePlus is a recruitment and training provider headquartered in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The company has a range of frontline public services, including employability support, adult skills training, apprenticeships, independent living, and prison education.

PeoplePlus is owned by Staffline Group PLC, an outsourced workforce provider with a turnover in excess of £1.1bn in 2018.[1]

History

Staffline Group PLC, the UK's largest outsourced workforce provider, acquired PeoplePlus in 2015. The formation of PeoplePlus resulted from the merger of three companies previously owned by Staffline:[2] EOS (acquired in 2011),[3][4] Avanta (acquired in 2014),[5][6] and A4e (acquired in 2015).[7] These companies were all major providers of work programs in the UK.

PeoplePlus further expanded its reach in 2018 by acquiring LearnDirect Apprenticeships[8], becoming the UK's largest apprenticeship provider at the time.

Employability

In England and Wales, PeoplePlus were the largest prime provider of DWP’s Work Programme[citation needed] before it ended in 2019. In 2018 they began delivering Fair Start Scotland in Glasgow and Highlands & Islands - a voluntary programme with support to develop soft skills and find sustainable employment. In England and Wales they deliver the DWP’s Restart Scheme on behalf of Reed in Kent and the North East, and Serco in Wales. The Restart Scheme aims to support people back into work as well as offering in-work support for up to twelve months.[9]

Justice

In 2019 PeoplePlus more than doubled its prison education services with additional contracts worth £100m, and now provide education services in 26 prisons in Britain.[10]
