MEET THE TEAM

“Having started my career in the Financial Services industry, I was invited to join one of the UKs leading recruitment agencies as a Trainee Consultant in 1996 after displaying a certain set of behavioural qualities at a friend’s Stag weekend at Butlin’s. There began my love affair with recruitment and I enjoyed each of the roles I performed on my way to Regional Manager during the following seven years. I founded FTS in 2002 with the aim of providing a boutique recruitment service that was more consultative and personal than that offered by many of the large conglomerates.

When I’m not in the office I visit the gym regularly in an attempt to stem the tide, spend time with my family and enjoy the occasional night out with friends."

“I joined FTS in June 2014 and am responsible for managing our online recruitment, marketing and social media strategy. This involves every aspect of the online resourcing process of job boards and social media sites to ensure that a continuous flow of quality candidates is provided to the team of consultants. I am also responsible for promoting our profile externally via a range of marketing activities so am regularly producing articles for online publication, press releases for local newspapers and keeping our followers informed of all things recruitment and construction.

When not multi-tasking the media, I enjoy graphic design, cider tasting and travelling."

“I joined FTS in August 2018 as a Resource Consultant, having previously worked in account management for both the finance and the insurance industry. I have a passion for building long-lasting relationships which compliments this position as it involves taking our candidates right through the exciting recruitment journey, from initial contact to placing them into the next step in their career.

Joining FTS has provided me with the opportunity to develop my knowledge of both recruitment and construction. It is a long-established company which has an excellent reputation and I am supported by an excellent team.

In my spare time I love to travel the world and play football."

"I joined FTS in March 2025 as a Recruitment Consultant, supporting candidates in securing roles that align with their goals and experience. After completing my BA (Hons) in Business and Management from Bournemouth University, I went into client-focused commercial roles where I developed a strong foundation in communication, relationship building and business development. I now apply that experience to the recruitment world, helping connect talented professionals with the right opportunities across the construction sector.

Outside of work, I enjoy socialising, making the most of Bournemouth’s vibrant nightlife, and planning my next getaway."

“I joined FTS in April 2025 as a Recruitment Consultant, helping our candidates find their ideal match within the construction sector. Before joining FTS, I spent ten years at Boots, working my way up to Store Manager. This role gave me strong people management skills, the ability to build rapport quickly, and a natural instinct for matching individuals to roles – all of which I now bring into my recruitment career to help clients and candidates alike succeed.

When I’m not supporting candidates through their job search, I enjoy keeping active at the gym, getting stuck into a good book, and catching up with friends over a cocktail or two.”
