WORK HISTORY
Co-founder Operator @Mep Technical Talent- M&e Only - Independent Service Driven
Liverpool, GB
After over 20 years working in recruitment, I made the decision to move away from the traditional agency model to create a more focused, service-led approach. This enables me to work closely with a select group of clients, offering a more consultative, accountable, and tailored solution rather than a volume-driven service that comes with working in the agency world. I believe the service is being comprimised taking the high volume approach,I founded MEP Technical Talent, an independent ownever operator lead recruitment service specialising in Mechanical & Electrical disciplines across the construction and engineering sectors. Something I have been worked in my whole recruitment career.I support businesses across commercial build, infrastructure, and energy projects, delivering both site-based M&E operatives across the UK and hard-to-find white-collar professionals across the East Coast USA.Typical roles include M&E Supervisors, Site Managers, Project Managers, site operatives and specialist technical positions, ensuring clients have access to the right talent to meet project demands and long-term business objectives.
