They have gained hands-on laboratory experience at 3 companies in energy, instrumentation and chemic. From this they have developed a deep understanding of analytical techniques, data accuracy, and quality control across a range of applications and markets.

 

It’s a practical foundation you don’t see every day and we feel it enables them to communicate complex scientific concepts with clarity and confidence to a range of audiences. A key advantage when engaging with a diverse market of customers requiring different approaches.

 

They moved into recruitment working for two leading agencies where they built a successful track record in consultative sales: generating new business, nurturing lasting client partnerships, and consistently meeting SMART targets. Recruitment success is driven by a commitment to understanding client needs, delivering tailored solutions, and achieving measurable outcomes.
