I launched MacGregor Recruitment in 2021 and am supported by Matt and Patricia who deliver talent mapping and candidate outreach projects behind the scenes.
A bit of background on me - my recruitment career started in 1999 working for Randstad Leicester managing large temporary contracts and after working as a Branch Manager for Manpower I then took up my first move into an in-house recruitment role with Goldsmiths in 2005.
Over the following 16 years I set up and ran internal recruitment functions for a number of companies that included Eurocell Plc and Stevenswood / Customade Group, which gave me fantastic hands on recruitment experience across the whole spectrum of extrusion, fabricating, field sales, head office, trade counter management and operational roles.
Working in these businesses shaped me as a recruiter. Rather than focusing on achieving sales targets at any cost my focus was on connecting with and engaging top performing candidates who are suitable for the company culture and who can make a big positive impact. I gained a first hand appreciation of the difference a great hire can make to a business, and the consequences and costs of getting it wrong.
This in-house recruitment experience within the fenestration sector is probably my biggest USP compared to other recruitment agencies.
Out of work I'm based near Nottingham with my 2 grown up children currently working and living in Manchester, and am often seen being dragged around by my 2 Spaniels or riding around on my dads old Bandit. Working towards my long term dream of relocating to the Scottish highlands in the next year or two.
