I started my recruitment career in 2010 and have worked across UK Infrastructure, Construction and International Maritime, giving me broad experience in technical recruitment both in the UK and overseas. I became a Fellow of the REC in 2021 and have always been driven by a simple goal: make recruitment better. I’m passionate about delivering a straightforward, high-quality service that genuinely supports clients and candidates.
Outside of work I’m a proud father to a beautiful girl and boy, and devoted husband. When I have enough energy in between running around after 2 kids and a dog, I love to play squash, cricket, and the odd bike ride. I’m also learning to play golf, unsuccessfully!
Focus at Fyba:
I oversee the operational running of the business, ensuring our consultants are supported, our clients are looked after, and our service consistently delivers. My recruitment focus includes senior and C-suite assignments, along with Planning, Commercial and Project Management roles across the UK and overseas. I have experience delivering Contract, Permanent, Retained and Exclusive projects, as well as bespoke consultancy work for clients who need a more strategic approach.

Having Graduated with a Sports Science Degree from Southampton University in 2008, I started my career in Recruitment in the Summer of 2011 as a Consultant within the Water Industry. I have remained in this sector for my entire tenure, and it is probably acceptable to self-proclaim that I am highly knowledgeable about all things AMP related! Within the workspace, I am passionate about creating a High Performing Culture in tandem with servicing our Clients and Candidates to the best of our abilities.
In my personal time, I am very keen on Sports and attempt to get to the gym 3 or 4 time. If it’s a WFH day, then you can usually find me doing a Joe Wicks HIIT in my lunch hour! I am a big fan of all things related to Boxing and am also a long-suffering supporter of Southampton FC having held a Season ticket for the last 9 years.
Focus at Fyba:
I head up the Water Division where we support our clients with multi-disciplinary permanent & contract recruitment through 360 project lifecycles. We can provide White Collar, Blue Collar and Permanent services dependent on our customer’s needs.

I started working in Recruitment in May 2017, as an associate consultant in the Water Industry, specialising in MEP. I therefore know the sector really well and have a number of established relationships within the market. For me the most important thing is integrity and professional reputation, I pride myself on honesty and transparency when speaking with both clients and candidates.
Outside of work I like to keep active, spending my winters playing hockey and my summer playing cricket. I’m always keen to give back in some way and I currently coach a kids football team alongside cricket in the summer.
Focus at Fyba:
As a Senior Consultant in the Water team, I support clients within Design & Build to source high quality MEP talent for Water projects. I help fulfill both contractor and permanent requirements across the UK.

I’ve been working in agency recruitment since 2019, with a focus on various sectors within engineering, particularly in infrastructure and energy. This experience has given me a solid understanding of technical recruitment, especially within the permanent white-collar market.
I’m excited about my career at Fyba, as it’s offering me great long-term prospects, particularly as I focus on the 180-degree recruitment path for my personal and professional development within the company.
Outside of work, I keep busy with a variety of sports. I play golf (averagely), am an avid Liverpool fan, and enjoy staying fit through the gym and running. I also love travelling and have recently had the opportunity to explore Southeast Asia and the USA on some memorable trips.

I started my recruitment career back in January 2019, where I joined a fast passed blue collar desk within the Water industry. Over the next 3.5 years I gained valuable experience dealing with both candidates and clients in a challenging market.
Joining the recruitment world at 19 years old I never knew what I was stepping into, now almost 5 years on I can safely say it was the best decision I could have made. I have a strong passion to go above and beyond for not only our clients but our candidates as well.
Outside of work I’m a keen footballer and I like to spend most weekends either playing or watching the football (Normally with a beer in hand). I enjoy spending time with friends and family and can be very easily persuaded into a Nando’s or two…

I spent 6 years working as a sports therapist until June 2023 for Havant and Waterlooville FC alongside other various roles at the NHS, and Havant and South Downs College. Although I enjoyed my time as a sports therapist, I decided I needed a career change and to be in an industry that could match my ambition and felt I had a lot of transferrable skills to head into a career in Recruitment.
After speaking to the guys at FYBA, I saw the vision and enthusiasm within the team, and it was something I immediately wanted to be a part of. The long team goals are endless, and I am excited to see where this opportunity takes me.
I spend my free time socialising and watching my favourite sports; football, golf and American football.
Focus at Fyba:
As a recruitment consultant I partner with clients predominantly across the Water & Utilities sectors as well as the wider Infrastructure space. My area of expertise is project delivery and design professionals such as; Project Managers, Commercial, Design Engineering, CAD and support roles.
