While the UK may now have been out of recession for longer than we were in it, just, nobody is under any illusions that the economic situation is showing any great signs of recovery.

Unemployment has reached levels not seen in more than 15 years and inflation is higher than it has been in two decades, comfortably topping five per cent, in September and October.

In such times, UK businesses are having to deploy every available strategy to stay afloat and the flexibility offered by using temporary or agency workers has been critical.
