The new arm will provide short-term staff and longer-term contract personnel to customers including caterers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, exhibition organisers and sporting arenas.
Staff to be provided will include kitchen cleaners, porters, back-of-house staff, warehouse operatives and security personnel.
"Companies are increasingly seeking flexible, cost-effective staffing solutions, whether requiring extra personnel for a large, one-off event or needing additional contract workers over a period of several weeks or months," said Thorns Support Services managing director Wayne Smith.
