Specialist recruitment consultancy Calibre Search has strengthened its construction division with the appointment of experienced consultants Sam Sykes and Elliot Barwick.
Leeds-based Calibre's construction division headed by Mark Brennan, works with blue chip and SME clients in Yorkshire and beyond to help them attract the best talent. Increased activity in the region's residential construction market has resulted in a flood of projects requiring personnel across all levels.
Newly-appointed Sam Sykes has seven years' experience working within the built environment and will specialise in the placement of white collar managerial and commercial personnel. Elliot Barwick joins as the team's dedicated construction contracting consultant, supplying both contract and permanent professionals including managers, surveyors, planners and directors.
"With the imminent start of major schemes in Yorkshire, and building on a sound foundation of SME business, we have already seen an increase in activity with contractors recruiting for all levels," said Mark Brennan.
"Order books are filling up and the skyline, particularly in Leeds, is a clear indication of the amount of investment and building work going on in the region. We have an excellent reputation in the built environment, and these key appointments will enhance our experienced and well-connected team who are dedicated to helping the region's builders attract quality and qualified personnel, as well as candidates make the most of available opportunities."
Calibre Search doubled in size last year, as demand soared for its services on the back of the market recovery. With offices in Leeds and Manchester, the 18-strong team specialises in recruitment for the built environment (construction and consultancy), HVAC/refrigeration & building maintenance, IT and marketing sectors.
Now, after a record 2014, Calibre has almost outgrown its Leeds office at Victoria Wharf, and is on the lookout for a new home for the rapidly expanding business.
