IMS Workforce joins Managed Workforce Group

IMS Workforce, a specialist provider of technical and professional contractors to the mining, oil & gas and heavy industrial industries in Western Australia, and part of Integrated Managed Services, has been acquired by labour services firm, Managed Workforce Group.

It will continue to provide its services as IMS Workforce under the leadership of Perth-based human resources and organisational strategy expert, Brad Weir.

IMS Workforce is a collaboration between Mr Weir and Managed Workforce Group’s recruitment business.

IMS Workforce will retain its existing team members while leveraging the broader resources of Managed Workforce Group as it looks to grow its footprint in WA. Mr Weir is joined on the board by Managed Workforce Group’s Grant Wechsel.

Wechsel co-founded Managed Workforce Group in 2020 with Australian Rugby League legend, Darren Lockyer.

IMS Workforce specialises in the supply and management of highly skilled technical and professional contractors engaged on construction projects, capital projects, shutdowns and ongoing maintenance programs for its clients in mining, oil & gas and heavy industry.

“The Integrated Managed Services business has a solid track record locally, building a great reputation under the leadership of Rick Reynolds,” Brad Weir said. “I have known and worked with Rick over many years and look forward to building and growing the IMS Workforce business in Western Australia. 

“We understand the WA market intimately in the industries in which we specialise and are a dedicated partner our clients can rely on. We offer contractor management, whole-of-site workforce management and dedicated project teams where we can deliver real value and measured cost savings.”

Managed Workforce Group’s Grant Wechsel said: “We are very pleased to have IMS Workforce join Managed Workforce Group.    

“I am really looking forward to working with Brad and our team to grow the IMS Workforce business with our full backing. We have seen in all of our businesses that our clients and our team members are looking to engage with experts who know our industries specifically and can add value. 

“I have no doubt the IMS Workforce team delivers value and personalised service for our clients and employees that is unmatched by white collar recruitment and global agencies operating in Australia.”
