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.

Property consultancy Vail Williams has appointed a valuation specialist in Oxford to meet growing business demand.


David Grove joins as an associate at the office, which opened just under two years ago as an extension of the firm’s Thames Valley region.


Bringing 30 years’ experience, David provides valuations for secured lending and for pension, accounting and probate purposes as well as for commercial, retail, residential and education sector estates, along with lease advisory work.


Richard Dawtrey, who leads the Oxford office, and is Vail Williams’ lead partner of investment, said:

“David’s remit is valuation work for secured lending and other purposes, supporting clients with market-focused advice across a range of property assets."

“His strong understanding of local and regional markets makes him a trusted adviser within the Oxfordshire property landscape.”


David said:

“Vail Williams has a high quality, established client base in and around Oxford and I look forward to providing well-rounded, pragmatic consultancy to lenders, investors, landlords, occupiers and professional advisers.”

With 13 staff supporting its Oxford office, located at New Barclay House in Botley Road, Botley, the business has ambitious plans to further expand the team this year with further lease advisory, agency and building consultancy capability.


Vail Williams’ full-service property advice includes commercial agency, investment and development advice, building consultancy, property valuation, planning, lease advisory, property asset management, business rates and occupier consultancy.


Last year the firm launched a new three-year business plan aimed at further innovation, service excellence and sustainable growth.
