I entered the realm of recruitment in 2014 and became a part of Silcom Recruitment in 2017. Prior to venturing into recruitment, I completed an apprenticeship in Sports Management with the University of Chichester.
An irresistible opportunity arose in the early stages of Silcom Recruitment, prompting me to join and contribute to the business’s growth—a prospect that genuinely excited me. Since then, I have never looked back. Our continuous year-on-year growth is fuelled by an exceptional team that surrounds me. Starting as a Recruitment Consultant, I now hold the proud title of Associate Director. I take pride in having established a strong reputation, with clients and candidates often reaching out to me directly, confident in receiving a top level of service from start to finish. This is something that resonates through the Silcom office. I love the fast pace of recruitment and having an impact on many people’s lives on a daily basis. No day is the same.
Primarily covering the south coast with a number of established clients, I also operate nationally, fostering great relationships throughout the UK.
FUN & INTERESTING FACT: My penchant for laughter and jokes, along with my current reign as the office champion in eating challenges—unmatched by anyone. In my spare time, if I’m not on the golf course, I’m cherishing moments with my wife, son, and dog. My enthusiasm for sports extends beyond work, enthusiastic Liverpool supporter and enjoy playing golf (terribly), racket sports and love a battle on the table tennis table. A daily battle with Sam has the whole office watching in awe of our ability.
In 2016, I launched Silcom Recruitment from my spare bedroom, showcasing my humble desk setup in the image below. For about 14-15 months, I toiled solo, using a whiteboard atop an ironing board, simultaneously building the business and its financial standing. This effort paved the way for me to secure an office space and hire additional help.
The journey was a mix of incredible moments and solitary stretches. I vividly recall my first placement, which happened with The Eden Motor Group—a client we continue to serve today. The primary goal was to establish a name and reputation in the motor trade. My emphasis was on a proactive, customer-centric approach, coupled with a highly competitive pricing model. I firmly believe that these principles have been instrumental in our success.
I am genuinely passionate about my work—facilitating employment opportunities for individuals and supporting companies with their hiring needs. The recruitment industry is a fascinating space.
Outside of work, my joy revolves around spending quality time with my wife and two children. I stay active, delve into business-related literature, and recently invested in a video editing and Canva course, nurturing a keen interest in content creation.
INTERESTING FACT: I have an identical twin brother who also runs his own recruitment business. Entrepreneurship seems to run in the family, as my sister manages two companies—Vivid Mortgages and Sunday Moon Jewellery. Oh, and once upon a time, I struck gold with five numbers on the lottery!
I’ve recently joined Silcom Recruitment, bringing a background in Internal Recruitment which has given me a strong understanding of what businesses are really looking for when it comes to hiring the right people.I enjoy building genuine relationships and take pride in helping both candidates and clients find the perfect fit.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about cars and outdoor sports, and I spend most of my time with my partner and daughter. I’ve been told I can talk the ears off people—which might not always be ideal socially—but it’s definitely a strength in my day-to-day role!
Fun fact: I actually passed out at the birth of my daughter and got sent home by the nurses… not my finest moment.
