Stafffinders Releases Its First Ever Christmas Film



After 55 years of helping businesses across Scotland find the right people, family-run recruitment agency Stafffinders has released its first-ever Christmas film, bringing a festive twist to the challenges of recruitment during the busiest time of year.


The film follows a familiar Christmas challenge: even Santa needs a reliable team behind him to make sure everything runs smoothly.


With the festive season placing additional pressure on businesses across Scotland, the film highlights the importance of having the right people in place, whether that's covering unexpected absences, managing increased demand or bringing in extra support during particularly busy periods.


Founded in Paisley in 1971, Stafffinders has spent more than five decades supporting Scottish businesses with temporary and permanent recruitment across a wide range of sectors, including Hospitality, Industrial, Warehouse and Office Support.


The Christmas film is a light-hearted celebration of the people working behind the scenes to keep businesses operating throughout the festive period, from chefs and waiting staff managing busy Christmas services to warehouse teams handling increased deliveries and office professionals keeping operations organised.


It also carries a simple message for employers: having a trusted recruitment partner available when staffing challenges arise can make all the difference.


With Christmas traditionally bringing increased demand for temporary workers, Stafffinders is encouraging businesses to plan their festive recruitment requirements early, helping them secure the staff they need before the busiest weeks arrive.


The film marks a first for the long-established Scottish recruitment agency, combining its recruitment expertise with a little Christmas storytelling.


Businesses looking for temporary or permanent recruitment support can contact Stafffinders through its website at www.stafffinders.co.uk, call the Paisley office on 0141 887 1155 or the Edinburgh office on 0131 225 6898.


Established in Paisley in 1971, Stafffinders is Scotland's longest-established family-run recruitment agency. With offices in Paisley and Edinburgh, the company provides temporary and permanent recruitment solutions across a wide range of industries, supporting businesses and jobseekers throughout Scotland and beyond.

P1 Contractors and Johnsons Nurseries are proud to have played a key role in the successful delivery of the landscaping and planting for the new Parkhead Health and Social Care Hub in Glasgow. This £72 million state-of-the-art facility, developed by hub West Scotland for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and constructed by BAM Construction, is Scotland’s first net-zero carbon in-operation health hub, setting a new standard for sustainable healthcare infrastructure.


The Parkhead Hub brings together GP services, pharmacy, dental care, children’s services, mental health support, training and social work under one roof, making it one of the most significant health projects in Scotland. The facility will also include community spaces such as bookable rooms, a café and the relocation of Parkhead Library. The carefully designed green spaces surrounding the facility are essential in promoting well-being, biodiversity, and community engagement.


As the lead landscaping contractor, P1 Contractors managed the full soft landscaping installation which included, soil preparation, groundworks, tree, shrub, herbaceous and bulb planting, turfing and grass seeding.


Ryan Whitelaw from P1 Contractors said: “We’re proud to have played a key role in shaping the outdoor environment of the Parkhead Hub. Our work ensures that the facility’s landscape is not only functional but also a lasting green space for the community.”


Johnsons Nurseries, a leading UK plant supplier, has enriched the Parkhead Hub’s landscaping with over 120 trees, including Acer campestre, Betula pendula, Pinus sylvestris, and Prunus avium. They also provided more than twenty-three thousand shrubs, grasses and herbaceous plants, featuring over four thousand Prunus Otto Luyken, one thousand eight hundred Pinus Mugo Mops, and thousands of Lonicera Nitida and Ilex aquifolium, creating a vibrant and sustainable green space.


Johnsons Group Managing Director Graham Richardson said, " Supplying over 120 trees and more than 23,000 plants for the Parkhead Hub ensures a lasting green legacy for the community."


"From trees to shrubs and herbaceous plants, each plant was carefully selected to enhance biodiversity, air quality, and well-being. It was great to work with our long-standing customer, P1 Contractors, on this transformative project, delivering high-quality landscaping that will benefit generations to come.”

The Parkhead Health and Social Care Hub is a landmark project bringing essential services together in a net-zero carbon facility, setting a new standard for sustainable healthcare. Through collaboration between hub West Scotland, BAM Construction, P1 Contractors, and Johnsons Nurseries, it creates a welcoming space that will benefit the community for generations.
