A new enterprising recruitment consultancy has today opened its doors in order to provide a relationship-focused recruiting experience for clients and candidates in the arenas of accounting and finance; financial services; human resources; sales; marketing, communications and e-commerce; procurement, supply chain and logistics; and executive search.
Spear-headed by newly appointed managing director Nigel Lynn and supported by directors Mark McFall and Anton Roe, Barclay Meade is aiming to make the recruitment process more effective and efficient by delivering in-depth industry insight together with true client understanding.
To this end, Barclay Meade has recruited sector specialists to head-up expert teams with extensive knowledge in interim, temporary, contract, permanent and executive recruitment.
Part of the Matchtech Group, which has been providing technical and professional recruitment for over 25 years, Barclay Meade has also brought in specialist professional staffing recruiters from Matchtech, enabling the company to concentrate solely on its core technical business.
Managing director Nigel Lynn says: “We are hugely lucky to have put together a team of some of the country’s leading recruiters from the professional services sectors who not only have a wealth of knowledge and experience, but are also highly motivated and inspired to make a lasting difference to clients’ businesses and candidates’ lives.
“The recruitment market is extremely competitive, and many firms are seeing opportunities for growth following the recession which makes this both an exciting and ideal time for Barclay Meade to be beginning its journey towards being recognised as a trusted, long-term business partner and ally for its clients and candidates.”
With UK-wide offices supporting the sector teams, Barclay Meade’s expert management team includes:
- Russell Soan – Procurement, supply chain and logistics
- Carly Tantau – Financial services
- Elliot Sanderson – Marketing, communications and e-commerce
- Matt Scott – Human resources
- Alan Betteridge - Sales
- James Hartshorn – Executive search
- Matt Horne – Public practice
- Nick Cooper – Accounting and finance, South Coast
Nigel Lynn adds: “It’s a real privilege to be working with such an incredibly passionate team of experts who all personify Barclay Meade’s proposition of providing true client understanding alongside industry insight. Our aim is not necessarily to make Barclay Meade the biggest recruitment consultancy, but to earn a reputation in our sectors for consistently delivering the best talent to our clients and providing the most rewarding job opportunities for our candidates.
“We believe our unique principles and culture, which are rooted in making the recruitment process more personal, will make this possible and in turn provide a better experience for everyone involved.”
