BlueTrail is joining forces with Peoples Republic, a renowned specialist in interim IT staffing from Breda. With this move, BlueTrail takes a significant step toward realizing the company’s defined growth ambitions. In 2023, Nordian acquired a majority stake in BlueTrail.
BlueTrail, based in Alphen aan den Rijn, facilitates the placement of more than 400 interim professionals annually, with a clear focus on highly educated interim IT professionals active in the public domain. Peoples Republic places 300 interim professionals annually and has built a solid reputation. These interim professionals operate at the intersection of business and IT, primarily in sectors such as education, healthcare, and municipalities. Both companies' success is grounded in a personal approach, a quality-driven methodology, and a commitment to building long-term relationships with both clients and professionals. By joining forces, growth can be accelerated, and services further strengthened. Peoples Republic will continue to operate independently under its own name, with the integration mainly taking place on the back end of the business.
Bart Wille, CEO of BlueTrail Group, explains: "We are very excited about the acquisition of Peoples Republic. We have come to know the management team, led by Sander Gerritsen, as highly driven and quality-focused. The synergies between the companies are significant. With this acquisition, we not only expand our offerings but also increase our geographical coverage and visibility. By sharing knowledge, I am convinced we will jointly create an even stronger position in the flexible labor market."
