The Kemp Recruitment journey

Kemp began its journey back in 2010, when Mark Kemp established the business. At this point, Mark had already garnered many years of experience within commercial vehicle recruitment.

Over a decade later and Kemp has grown considerably, with over 40 staff currently – and a view to doubling that next year. Quite a mean feat, considering most recruitment agencies never grow beyond ten members of staff!

At Kemp, our aim is simple: to be known as the UK’s leading commercial vehicle recruitment company.
