DRD Group has provided recruitment and workforce solutions to the mining and resource sectors since 1995, and has since expanded into a range of other industries. Operating from Applecross with a team of around 50, the business was looking for a technology partner with the transparency, expertise and reliability to support it as it grew. Matt Seeds, Managing Director at Inspired IT, had been introduced to DRD Group some time earlier, so when the search began, they came to him.
