Group Managing Director
I’m a Co-Founder and Director of Chroma Recruitment and keep a hand in the recruitment activities as well. I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years, where my specialism is business development across the Manchester tech scene. I love getting out and about and meeting with my clients.
Outside of work, my loves in life are red wine, Manchester United, a flutter, and most of all my two little babies (and my darling wife of course!).
Contract Director
I’m the Director and one of the Co-Founders here at Chroma Recruitment, with a focus on heading up the IT Division. I started this business after 20 years in recruitment, and have used my experience to manage permanent and contract sales within the company.
Away from my desk, I’ll be riding my mountain bike, driving around the countryside or watching an entire series of Homeland on Netflix.
Engineering Director
I’m the Director of Engineering here at Chroma and with nearly 9 years in the recruitment industry, I like to keep close to how the market is changing and evolving. I am hands-on with recruitment, as well as training and developing the growing team around me.
Outside of work, you’ll either find me on the golf course or in the Stretford End watching the greatest football team ever. Apart from that, my time at home is devoted to my wife Laura and my boy Ollie, who genuinely believes he will be the next Paul Pogba!
Head of Operations
I’m the Head of Operations here at Chroma, so my job spans all departments of the business. I deal with strategy, finance, HR, contractor relationships, training, and compliance. I also keep the office stocked with post-it notes, which is a full-time job in itself!
Outside of work you’ll find me on my yoga mat, hiking up a hill, traveling as much of Europe as I possibly can, or eating a lot of food.
Tech Perm Director
I’m the Business Unit Director for the Tech & Digital team. I’ve been working in recruitment for far too long (16 years), starting my recruitment career with a large Corporate and prior to Chroma, I spent 6 years working with a boutique recruitment business helping them grow. I pride myself on being pragmatic and sensible in my approach to both clients and candidates and I like nothing more than getting out to meet people face-to-face for a coffee.
When I’m not in the office I’ll be on the Golf course trying to ruin a really nice walk, enjoying the odd glass of red wine, or watching one of my 2 boys play rugby on the weekends.
