Gary Ward

Director

Recruiting since 2004

Gary has over 10 years recruitment board level experience and has previously run a multimillion-pound turnover contract and permanent recruitment business specialising in engineering recruitment.

“I became disillusioned with the standard recruitment offering driven by KPI’s and soulless transactional exchanges. I wanted to set up a recruitment consultancy that worked in partnership with clients who wanted us to be an extension of their brand, delivering their roles with enthusiasm, passion and commitment, finding them the best people on the market”

Things to talk to Gary about other than recruitment:
Guitars, Park Runs and why the 90’s was the best decade for music.

I understand the unique and individual needs & expectations of both clients and candidates. This allows me to provide a personalised approach to each search, ensuring that the right fit is found for both parties, rather than operating on a “one size fits all” basis.”
