Our Journey

1948 – A New Beginning in the UK

Our story started in 1948 when the Sunner family moved from Punjab, India, to the United Kingdom. Like many immigrant families, they arrived with very little but carried a strong determination to build a better future. Through hard work, honesty, and dedication, they began working in factories and laid the foundation for what would become a successful family business.

1955 – Opening One of the First Ethnic Retail Stores

In 1955, the family opened one of the UK’s first ethnic retail stores. The shop provided authentic products to Indian and Caribbean communities who were looking for familiar foods and goods from home. Over time, the business grew into a respected retail chain and became a trusted destination for multicultural communities across the country.

1999 – The Launch of Matchworkers International

Inspired by the family’s entrepreneurial spirit, Joe Sunner founded Matchworkers International in 1999. The company became a pioneer in international recruitment by helping skilled hospitality workers from India secure legal employment opportunities in the UK. This innovative approach supported both workers seeking better opportunities and employers facing staff shortages.

Since then, Matchworkers International has built a reputation for trust, professionalism, and ethical recruitment.

2023 – Expanding into Greece

In 2023, Matchworkers International entered the Greek market and introduced seasonal hospitality recruitment services. After extensive planning and navigating complex regulations, the company successfully established operations in Thessaloniki, with expansion into other major cities soon following.

This milestone allowed us to connect more employers with skilled workers while creating valuable international career opportunities.

Today – Innovation in Recruitment

Today, Matchworkers International continues to grow and innovate. We are proud to offer a unique “Hire Now, Pay Later” recruitment solution, helping businesses access the talent they need while providing flexible recruitment options.

Although our services have evolved, our purpose remains the same: connecting reliable employers with hardworking people and creating opportunities that change lives.

Growing Our Presence in Greece

Following the success of our Thessaloniki operations, we are expanding further across Greece with new offices in Athens and Crete. This growth allows us to better serve employers throughout the country and strengthen our support for both businesses and workers.
