Dave has been working in recruitment since 2003, where he has been purely focusing on the recruitment of freelance and permanent staff within the Civil Engineering and Rail sectors. During his time in the industry, Dave has successfully recruited personnel on major projects including recently CrossRail, HS2 and numerous Rail and Highway Frameworks and in the past projects including the M25 Widening, The Olympic Park, London Underground Station Modernisation Frameworks.
He has built up some excellent relationships over the years with both candidates and clients and has come on board with the aim of progressing these further and to continue to provide an honest, open and reliable service to both.
In his spare time, Dave enjoys spending time with his family and 2 daughter’s and is also an avid follower of the ‘mighty’ Tottenham Hotspur! Will Spurs win something before he retires from recruitment…….unlikely!
