Acorn announces recruitment partnership that will benefit community

Leading asbestos management consultancy, Acorn Analytical Services, has announced a partnership with recruitment company Tempeo.

The partnership will see Tempeo act as Acorn’s official recruitment partner, supporting the consultancy with sourcing new staff members for a wide range of roles.

Acorn will also be backing Tempeo’s recently launched charity arm, The Tempeo Foundation, which supports underprivileged groups by creating meaningful experiences and community connection through partnerships with sports clubs, businesses and charities.

Daniel Crask, Head of Operations at Acorn Analytical Services, added: “I have known Johnathon, one of the founding directors of Tempeo, for years and we recently reconnected at the Cobbler Business Club, run by Northampton Town Football Club.

“Tempeo had just opened a community lounge at the Cobblers ground to bring matchday experiences to underprivileged people in the community and it sparked a conversation about how Acorn might be able to support the work of The Tempeo Foundation and create a meaningful impact in our local community.”

In his role of Head of Operations at Acorn, Daniel is also responsible for recruiting new members of staff – something Acorn has done a lot of in the last 12 months, increasing its headcount by 23 people in 2025.

“We have added some great people to our team over the last year and intend to add more to the workforce in 2026,” reveals Daniel. “Having Tempeo, a construction industry recruitment specialist, as a partner will be vital in our ongoing growth journey.”

Johnathon Dowling, Director at Tempeo, added: “This partnership means a great deal to us because it is built on shared values, not just commercial alignment.

“Working with Acorn Analytical Services represents exactly how we believe modern partnerships should operate – transparent, fair and rooted in mutual respect. The fact that Acorn has also chosen to support the Tempeo Foundation shows a genuine commitment to community and doing business the right way.

“For Tempeo, this is about more than recruitment. It is about long-term collaboration, supporting people properly and proving that strong commercial outcomes and positive social impact can go hand-in-hand. We are proud to be partnering with an organisation that sees the bigger picture and is willing to put those values into action.”
