Rullion receives 'Highly Commended' at the 2025 APSCo OutSource Awards for Excellence
This recognition reflects the strength of our Managed Service Programme (MSP) delivery and our long-standing partnerships with clients such as E.ON, Siemens and Northumbrian Water. These are complex, regulated environments where trust, compliance and responsiveness are critical – and where our recruitment outsourcing solutions are making a measurable difference.
Why the APSCo Awards Matter
APSCo’s OutSource Awards for Excellence are highly respected in the staffing industry, celebrating organisations that deliver innovative, compliant and scalable workforce solutions.
Recognition from APSCo highlights the value of strategic MSP services in a market where organisations face skills shortages, tighter regulation and growing reliance on contingent workforces to keep operations running.

A Proven MSP Model
Our Managed Service Programme is built to handle the challenges of contingent workforce management at scale. Whether it’s sourcing highly skilled engineers for the energy sector, managing compliance for regulated utility environments, or ensuring rapid deployment of contractors across infrastructure projects, our MSP model gives clients the confidence that every aspect of workforce delivery is covered.
We’ve invested in direct sourcing to improve quality, reduce time-to-hire and deliver cost savings. At E.ON, for example, we achieved 100% direct hires, cut time-to-hire by 15%, and improved interview-to-offer conversion rates by 25%.
People-First, Insight-Led Delivery
Our success isn’t only about processes and metrics. It comes from a people-first approach that prioritises partnership, communication and cultural alignment. We know that managing a contingent workforce is not just about filling vacancies, it’s about creating a seamless experience for hiring managers, contractors and stakeholders.
We support this with an insight-led model that measures five key areas: compliance, cost savings, operational excellence, innovation, and social value. This allows us to track impact and continuously improve our MSP delivery. Alongside business results, we embed ESG principles into our programmes, from inclusive recruitment practices to supporting local supply chains and delivering social value in the communities we serve.
Looking Ahead
The demand for agile and resilient workforce models is only increasing. Organisations across energy, utilities, and infrastructure face rising pressure to balance compliance with innovation while securing scarce skills. As an MSP service provider, we’re committed to helping clients adapt, scale effectively, and unlock long-term value from their contingent workforce.
Winning this recognition at the APSCo OutSource Awards highlights the ongoing commitment of our teams to deliver MSP solutions that make a measurable difference for clients.
For us, this commendation is about more than a single programme. It reflects the day-to-day commitment of our people to deliver people-first, insight-led MSP solutions that evolve with our clients' needs.
