Call me a weirdo if you like but I love recruitment. I’m sure you have heard this many times but I really did fall into it in 1987 and I am so glad I did. I’m really passionate about delivering the best service to both candidates and companies. I started Technical Resources in April 2000 after starting as a consultant at MTS in Slough in 1987. I worked my way up to MD of corporate services group Technical Division. When I left in 1999 we had 1,250 contractors and our turnover was £30m. For me, it’s all about references, references, references. If I could, I would probably uninvent the CV. CVs stop the flow of recruitment. Allow us to do our job properly, let us do the referencing and put the right candidates in front of you. An interesting fact about me? Ok, guess which ones of these is true: My grandfather was born in a workhouse in Brighton, I was a choir boy in Westminster Abbey or I was a lead singer in a punk band…

For 10 years I worked for River Island in Operations and then with Arcadia for 6 years as a Regional Manager covering the South of the UK. I then moved from Fashion Retail to start Technical Resources with Alan. As the company has grown over the years, my role has developed into dealing with the overall running of the business including Finance, Internal HR and Payroll.

I focus on the absolute delivery of every opportunity here at Technical Resources. As the company has been aggressively growing, I can proudly say that I have been able to work my way up from Resourcer to the position of Operations Director. As a result of this, I have personally experienced every aspect of the Recruitment process. My role is very much an operational one and covers typical activities such as daily monitoring, ensuring our strategy is on track, our service is exemplary and striving for continuous improvements across all parts of the business. We have two customers, clients & candidates, and I'm always looking at what could work better for both.

My goal is to grow the division and to ensure we continue to provide the very best service possible. I am currently the Recruitment Solution Manager, having spent 7 years with Technical Resources. After growing my experience and knowledge in recruitment, I currently work with both new and existing clients, sourcing the best candidates for their vacancies. We have amazing values as a company and I’m proud to be a part of its growth. I’m very career driven and I always put in 100% effort to make my work outstanding. I believe that the strong relationships we have with both clients and candidates is the key to our success. I'm a very approachable person and will always listen to the needs of others- I always want to get to know the people I work with. I'm a big Spurs fan and love my football- I've not missed a season of playing since I was 5 years old!

"Had a great experience with Technical Resources, Nick was amazing and helped me get into a job that I love, 5 stars all round- highly recommended." Quality is an integral part of everything we do here and highly important to me. As Manager of the Telecoms Division at Technical Resources, I ensure our client’s requirements are clear, which enables us to always be certain that we are putting forward the best candidates. We have been successful in building fibre planning teams from scratch, mobilising large workforces of FTTH Engineers abroad and recruiting large numbers of project supervisors for national data cabling projects within a few weeks. I always get great satisfaction from getting our clients and candidates exactly what they want. I'm interested in travelling and once visited 15 countries in one year. I'm into extreme sports and have broken my arm twice taking part in them: once when I was snowboarding and once on the monkeybars...

With 7 years’ experience in my division, I’m able to offer Fire and Security expertise to ensure my clients to get the best people. I have a very hands-on role with a great deal of variety as Divisional Manager for the Fire and Security Division. Typically my day involves ensuring our operations work efficiently and we provide an outstanding service not only to our clients but also to our many candidates. This ranges from candidate registration, training and support through to the quality of the delivery of our service. There is always high productivity in the office as everyone wants the business to continue to grow. Like most people here, I'm a massive Chelsea fan and go to Stamford Bridge whenever I can. I've completed Tough Mudder twice with the company and love to travel.

I am closely involved in the overall recruitment process and the delivery of candidates to existing and new clients. For over 7 years, I have taken pride in giving the best client satisfaction, ensuring we look at the bigger picture with them so we can achieve this and build a long lasting relationship. I am proud of the progression I have made from Resourcer to one of the most successful consultants in the Fire & Security industry. I am a big football fan and season ticket holder for Chelsea.

Having worked at Technical Resources for a number of years, I have developed a specialist knowledge within the Fire & Security sector. My work involves meeting new clients, discussing both temporary and permanent recruitment requirements as well as managing the Fire & Security Contract team. I’m very committed to getting the job done and to achieve an outstanding result for all parties.

Everything is fast paced with a lot of jobs available to work so I can never get bored. I enjoy travelling and have visited various interesting and wonderful places. I'm really into keeping fit and have run the London Marathon as well as completed a 1,000 mile cycle to Spain- both for charity. I love my sport; mainly football, squash and golf (I have two hole in ones, unlike Phil Wadsworth, who has none)

"I've been working as a contractor for a number of years now with the trusted support of Hayley Moore. Her friendly and reliable service is second to none." I bring in and recruit the best Fire & Security contractors. I started here as a temp before being offered a full-time, permanent position. When I was temping, I resourced candidates across the whole of the Contract division. Ever since I've gone full-time here, I've been resourcing candidates for the Fire & Security Contract Division. I look after and manage all of the Fire & Security candidates that are working for us- this includes checking in with them on site, making sure their timesheets are in on time and aftercare. I also recruit new Fire & Security contractors for up and coming contracts- making sure they have all the qualifications and experience. I love working here- everything is fast paced and there is always something to help you improve. I love horse riding and used to do it once or twice a week. I also went travelling for four months in South East Asia before I started here which was terrifying but rewarding.

"Within a few hours, Henry contacted me with two potential opportunities that fitted my criteria. I'm excited to say that I have now accepted a job offer from one of the two interviews and look forward to this new chapter in my career thanks to Henry." I am driven to get exactly what the client and candidate wants. I am a specialist recruiter for engineering roles and integrated systems within the Fire and Security sector. I am responsible for candidates, establishing their needs and organising suitable interviews. My proudest achievement is being the most successful Resourcer within the permanent division. I like travelling abroad and watching sport. I love football and rugby and, when I was 13, I played cricket at the Oval twice and won the schools championship.

I'm upfront, honest and always pursue getting the best people for the right job. I love football and play it semi-professionally. I will go to Dubai whenever I can, it's like a second home to me. It was there that I caught, cooked and ate a shark.

I have over 25 years’ specialised experience in the IT and Software Industry on a global basis. With my recruitment knowledge and being an experienced head-hunter I’m constantly “thinking outside the box”, for new ways of recruiting to find the best professionals in the market, which may otherwise be difficult to find. I do this by utilising my market knowledge, experience and network. I always push to do my best, and always deliver outstanding results. I love sport- I support West Ham and am a keen golfer. I have also won national trophies playing pool and county table tennis. Nowadays, I'm more of a family man but I'm still passionate about technology and gaming with my kids.

It started from when I worked on site as an electrician's mate. I work with growing companies, helping them find the best talent to help them cover sickness or holiday, meet deadlines and complete projects. I also keep our best candidates in work. I am always on the lookout for new M&E contractors. I'm a massive Arsenal fan and an avid golfer. At one time I played professional football in Holland, but now I'm a settled family man and love spending time with my wife and kids.

I love building strong relationships with my clients and candidates. I always achieve great job satisfaction from filling positions with the right people.

If you think I'm a regular dog, you're barking up the wrong tree. It's my job within the company to obtain leads, whilst making sure we're not constantly hounding our customers.
