Group Managing Director
OPERATIONS
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
CONTRACT
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.

Finance Recruitment Manager

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.
