After completing an Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship in Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering at materials testing business Instron with a HND in Mechanical Engineering & NVQ level 4 in Engineering Manufacturing, Chris made the move to recruitment to utilise the knowledge he learned during his apprenticeship to work with some of the top engineering & manufacturing businesses in the UK.
With a strong industry background, a passion for engineering and a keenness to understanding complex requirements for his clients, Chris has been able to deliver time and again in sourcing white collar engineering staff for specialist projects.
His client base spans Defence, Motorsport, Machinery/Agriculture, Aerospace, Marine, Robotics, IoT, Medical Devices, SPM & Automation. Clients use Chris due to his track record of reducing time to hire on niche roles, personable approach, overall delivery & ability to understand the needs of complex roles and industries as well as his ability to conveying this information accurately and attractively to potential employees.
He is adaptable and makes it his mission to ensure that he delivers on every recruitment whilst providing the best possible candidate and client experience throughout.
Chris is truly a specialist in his field with first-hand experience and this has been reinforced by the excellent feedback from both candidates and clients who continue to see Chris as their go to recruiter within the contract engineering space.
Adam Cave
Managing Director / Founder
After graduating with an Honours Degree (BA Hons) in History and Politics and a Master’s Degree (MSc) in Global Politics, Adam joined an award-winning Virgin Fast Track 100 Consultancy.
Adam developed a number of relationships up to board level and ultimately increased the organisations' market share, resulting in some of the industry’s most innovative and noteworthy campaigns of the period. An integral part of the growth and success experienced by the business, Adam’s position and remit were expanded to reflect this.

Adam sits across our key specialist divisions, supporting client relationships and strategic delivery, in both the UK and US markets. He specialises in advising our clients in all things related to recruitment and human capital and personally delivers search-based assignments.
