The Bristol office is the sixth new Pareto regional office to open in 20 months. The opening underlines the continued expansion of the company, which places some 1,000 graduates a year with prestigious clients including Computer Associates, Dell, Johnson & Johnson, Barclays and Coors Breweries. John joins Pareto following 10 years with CIL, an international specialist IT training company, where he was Managing Director. The Bristol team is backed by two new Pareto graduates, Joshua Watts from Bath and Ali Taber from North Devon.

Joint Managing Director Jonathan Fitchew comments: "The launch of our sixth UK franchise in just 20 months demonstrates the strength of the Pareto Law proposition. With offices across the UK we are able to recruit top graduates and provide cutting edge sales training for an even wider range of businesses.

"The concept of a business that combines recruitment, sales and training is hugely appealing to me. The Pareto Law formula is a tried and tested one and, following the success of the other regional offices, I have no doubt that we can bring the same level of success to the South West."

Pareto Law assesses, places and trains graduates for careers in sales and marketing and was recently voted winner of the Sunday Times Best Small Company To Work For 2005.
