Pure Resourcing Solutions, the leading professional recruitment company in the Eastern region, is delighted to announce the completion of a successful Management Buyout (MBO). Led by David Culley, Jodie Woodrow, Ben Farrow, Scott Woodrow, and Annette Wyld, this marks an exciting new chapter in Pure’s journey. The move empowers the Senior Leadership Team, along with long standing Director, Caroline Batchelor, to drive the business forward while staying true to the core values that have underpinned its success since 2002.

“Since launching Pure over 22 years ago, our focus has always been on building long-term relationships through a people-first recruitment business driven by integrity, teamwork, and passion,” said Ian Walters, Co-Founder. “I’m delighted to see the next generation of leaders take the reins, ensuring continuity for our clients, candidates, and our highly valued team. This is a fantastic opportunity for David, Jodie, Scott, Annette, and Ben to shape the future of the business. Lynn and I will remain actively involved, supporting them for the foreseeable future.”

David Culley, Executive Director, added: “Our goal is to build on the strong platform that has been established over the past two decades. Pure has always been a values-driven business, and we are committed to upholding these values while continuing to innovate and invest in our people. We want to ensure Pure remains the leading recruitment partner in the region. We are grateful to Ian and Lynn for their vision, dedication, and for entrusting us with the opportunity to carry the business forward. It’s an honour to build on the strong foundation that they, along with Gill Buchanan and Caroline Batchelor, originally created’. 

Together, the leadership team brings over 95 years of combined experience at Pure. The MBO provides further opportunity for growth, innovation, and long-term sustainability, positioning both Pure Resourcing Solutions and Pure Executive for continued success.

“We are excited for the future,” said Jodie Woodrow, Executive Director. “This transition allows us to build on our strengths, enhance our services, and remain dedicated to supporting careers and organisations across the East of England. Our commitment to collaboration, excellence, and people-first recruitment remains at the heart of everything we do.”

With this transition, Pure remains focused on delivering exceptional recruitment solutions while nurturing a workplace culture that values people, relationships, and long-term success.
