At the heart of who I am, I’m ultimately a family man. Not a man defined by greed, but one shaped by pride, honour, and integrity. I’m in my forties, a father to three incredible kids—Freddie, Jessica, and Isabella—who still call our family home theirs.
Life revolves around these relationships, and nothing brings me more joy than nurturing the connections that matter most.
I live on a working arable farm, which comes with its own unique rhythm. My home office overlooks rolling fields, and the fresh air and wide-open views remind me daily of the balance life requires.
Mental health isn’t just a buzzword for me; it’s a priority. Work-life balance is key, and I make it a point to live each day fully, rather than being consumed by endless targets or a relentless chase for the next commission.
I’ve been fortunate to spend over a decade in recruitment, learning from some of the very best in the business. Today, I’m recognised as a leading recruitment and headhunting expert within the building products sector. If it goes in a building, I deal with it. I specialise in placing key employees for manufacturers, merchants, distributors, and wholesalers across the UK, and I’m proud to have earned the trust of loyal business relationships nationwide. With a network of over 37,000 LinkedIn followers, I’ve built a community that spans the industry, connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
For me, recruitment is no longer about numbers—it’s about people. It’s about meaningful conversations, understanding goals, and helping individuals and businesses achieve their potential. I thrive on building relationships and crafting career strategies that are not just transactional, but transformational.
Every day, I strive to live in the moment, to take each day as it comes, and to bring honesty, empathy, and insight into every interaction. Whether you’re looking to shape your career, grow your team, or simply have a conversation about opportunities in the building sector, I’m here not just as a Talent Strategist or Career Architect, but as someone who genuinely values people and the impact we can have on each other’s journeys.
Let’s create something meaningful—together.

One morning at 7 a.m., a Managing Director called me in a panic—their entire senior sales team had just walked out. Ten days later, they had a stronger National Sales Manager in place and a renewed strategy for growth. They’ve partnered with me ever since.
That’s not luck. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
