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.

Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has helped to kick-start the festive season by volunteering at the Candlelighters Christmas Party.


Candlelighters provides support to families dealing with children's cancer. Earlier this year, it was named the children’s charity of the year at the Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards, which recognises the bravest and most courageous children and young adults, as well as the charities that support them in the region.


Each year, the charity hosts its Christmas Party, helping to bring some festive joy to families affected by childhood cancer and make precious happy memories. Once again, Konica Minolta joined other organisations, including its partner Intuitive BI, and other volunteers, to kickstart the festive season for around 60 families.


Held in Bradford, the party was packed with games, activities, stalls and entertainment that included Champ the elephant (the Candlelighters official mascot), Super Mario, Mickey Mouse, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, characters from Star Wars and of course a visit to Santa’s grotto.


Marie Woodhead, Partner Marketing Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, has been volunteering and fundraising for Candlelighters throughout the year, participating in its Ready Steady Cook challenge and coordinating Konica Minolta’s chocolate egg and toy donations. Marie comments:

“This was my first time attending the Candlelighters Christmas Party and the team and I found it an afternoon of pure joy. Seeing the children light up meeting Santa, dancing with their favourite characters, and even booing the Grinch was truly heartwarming. It was an honour and a privilege to be part of this beautiful event”

Environment, Social & Governance Partner at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, Gillian Anderson, says,

“We are very proud of how the team has seized the opportunity to dedicate their volunteering time, to support our chosen charities throughout the year. Everyone involved has helped to have a positive impact for the people in their communities who need it most.”
