Strategic Talent Partner
When Allspeeds created a brand-new Supply Chain Manager role, they needed a recruiter who could navigate the challenges of defining the brief and engaging the right candidates. Colin worked closely with the leadership team to understand the nuances of the role and the wider business context. His clear process and consultative approach not only delivered strong candidates but also reassured stakeholders who were initially sceptical about the value a recruiter could bring.
At the same time, Colin was building long-term relationships with candidates. After first connecting with Charles in 2024, Colin maintained contact and continued to explore opportunities that would align with his skills and ambitions. In 2025, when the Allspeeds role came up, it proved to be the perfect fit – both for the business and for Charles’ career goals.
The result was a seamless hire: a client confident they had found the right person for a pivotal new role, and a candidate stepping into a position that matched their aspirations.
Colin helped us recruit for a newly created Supply Chain Manager role within our business. He was brilliant from start to finish. He nailed the brief and understood the nuances and challenges. He even managed to win over some of the more sceptical members of our team in terms of how some sections of the recruitment industry operate. He helped us fill the role and the result is a successful candidate who was made for the job!
I highly recommend Colin for their excellent ability to identify the round peg for the round hole. Colin approached me in 2024 with a particular position in mind and although this first opportunity was not the right one for me, Colin continued the dialogue into 2025 and identified a position which matched my experience perfectly with the needs of his client and I successfully joined his client’s team in April 2025. Throughout the process Colin was proactive, supportive and transparent in his interactions with both myself and his client which has ultimately allowed me to return to engineering in the position I was looking for. I would recommend Colin to candidates looking to further their careers in Supply Chain, Purchasing and Operations.
