Vester Group

Vester Group is proud to announce that it has officially achieved Certified B Corporation™ (B Corp™) status, the first Welsh recruitment business to join the global movement of businesses committed to balancing purpose and profit while meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

The certification recognises the collective commitment and operational excellence demonstrated across the Vester Group business, including NuStaff, Winberry, Lexbridge, Executive HR and Thrive HRM. Together, these businesses provide temporary staff, permanent recruitment, HR consultancy, legal talent and people solutions business support to organisations across the UK.

Administered by B Lab™, the independent non-profit organisation behind the global B Corp movement, certification is awarded only after a rigorous assessment of a company's governance, employee practices, community impact, customer service, environmental responsibility and overall business operations.
For Vester Group, achieving B Corp status formally validates the standards, values and quality-focused culture that have been embedded throughout the organisation for many years.

Dave Matthews, Managing Director of Vester Group, commented, “Achieving B Corp Certification is a significant milestone for our business and one that reflects the commitment, professionalism and integrity demonstrated every day by our people across NuStaff, Winberry, Lexbridge, Executive HR and Thrive HRM.
“While we have always sought to operate responsibly and place people at the heart of everything we do, this accreditation provides independent verification that our business practices meet internationally recognised standards for quality, accountability and positive impact.

“Most importantly, it gives our clients, candidates and partners additional confidence that they are working with an organisation that is committed to doing business the right way. Whether we are recruiting talent, providing HR advice, delivering legal personnel or helping organisations grow, our customers can be assured that we are providing the right people, the right advice and the right solutions in the right way.”
The assessment recognised Vester Group's commitment to:

• Creating positive and rewarding workplaces for employees and associates.
• Delivering ethical recruitment, consultancy and professional services.
• Supporting local communities and charitable initiatives.
• Maintaining transparent governance and responsible business practices.
• Building long-term partnerships based on trust, integrity and measurable outcomes.

B Corp Certification requires organisations to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, communities and the environment. Certified businesses are also committed to continuous improvement and ongoing assessment to maintain their accreditation.

For Vester Group, the certification forms part of a wider commitment to sustainable growth, responsible leadership and creating long-term value for clients, employees, candidates and communities alike.
As the Group continues to expand its portfolio of specialist businesses, the principles underpinning B Corp Certification will remain central to its strategy, ensuring that commercial success is matched by positive social impact and exceptional service delivery.
