I’ve worked as a Construction and Civils Recruitment Consultant for over 17 years', successfully supplying Trades & Labour and Site Management staff to Construction sites in London and across the South East England. Originally from Cardiff in South Wales, I went to University in Bristol and completed an Engineering degree with Honours.

Over the years I’ve established a large network of high quality and loyal Construction staff across the South of England. I’m able to supply all types of Trades & Labour, Machine Operators, Logistics, Commercial and Site Management Staff.

  • I pride myself in having a deep understanding of my clients projects requirements and culture. Always ensuring I work in collaboration with my clients office and site staff, to ensure the project stays on target. Our company provides independent training, briefing and tool box talks, maintaining a presence on site and offering an On Call service, with back up staff on ‘standby’ for shifts. I don’t see my client relationships as just a supplier/vendor relationship, I see Alliance Search as more as a subcontractor that is helping the project succeed.

I have a passion for the Construction Industry having worked in the sector for the last 18 years. Originally from Plymouth in Devon, I spent the first 11 years of my career working for a construction business there consisting of Scaffolding, Powered Access & Construction Training Divisions - The latter I headed as Director of Training - giving me an in depth understanding of various Construction accreditations and courses such as CSCS & CISRS Schemes, First Aid training, NEBOSH, SMSTS / SSSTS etc.

Since relocating to Bournemouth and finally settling in London - I have 6 years continuous Construction Sector recruitment experience working for some of the largest agencies in London, and in turn many well respected clients such as ISG, Wates, Mclaren, Buckingham Group, Galliford Try, Winvic, Westfield Shoppingtowns and Bowmer & Kirkland.

  • I have focused predominantly on ‘White Collar’ recruitment, assisting clients with freelance & permanent vacancies on a national basis. Roles have ranged from Document Control to Site Managers & Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Contracts Managers & Design Managers to name a few.

    I thoroughly enjoy recruitment and find it very rewarding - Helping candidates secure their next career step or assignment, and building mutually beneficial and lasting client relationships are key to our business. I’ve seen first hand the frustrations sometimes faced when dealing with agencies so I believe honesty, transparency & good communication and key!

    I’m always keen to expand my network & make new connections so please do feel free to get in touch if i can help with anything at all!
