Peoplelink Staffing Solutions, a South Bend based staffing firm, has announced the acquisition of Trade Management Inc. headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

According to W. “Jay” Wilkinson, Peoplelink’s president and CEO, “This acquisition is yet another ‘perfect fit’ for the Peoplelink organization. Trade Management is a strong player in the trades staffing niche and their operational model will complement the Peoplelink profit center operating model.”

The acquisition will bring a talented staff of veterans and will provide the current Trade Management clients with even more choices and higher levels of staffing support and human capital services.”
