This week we're welcoming our newest Forward Roller, Richard Jones, who has joined our growing team as Executive Search Director. 

With over 20 years’ of Executive Search experience internationally, as a strategy and transformation recruiter and a successful track record of leading and delivering global campaigns, Richard’s remit will be to continue the rapid growth of FR Executive's technology division.

Richard will join Forward Role Directors; Steve Thompson and Brian Johnson in building the FR Executive offering, which works nationally across high growth sectors such as retail, eCommerce, technology and FinTech, with clients ranging from FTSE 100 businesses to private equity and venture capital-backed scale-ups.

“We’re delighted to welcome Richard into the business," said Steve. "He brings to the table an enviable network of talent and blue chip contacts in the technology and transformation space. His drive and passion for delivering world class talent fits perfectly with our company culture.”

In addition to Richard; Grant, Charlotte and Luke joined us towards the end of last year (pictured above from left to right).

Grant Dove is a recent addition to our technology department, heading up Java recruitment. Luke Finney will boost our contract function as an ERP consultant and Charlotte Callaghan joins our London digital team.

Our new Forward Rollers take the team to 35, making us the largest specialist marketing and digital recruiter in the north of England.
