For over 30 years I have been committed to furthering my recruitment and management competences. I have created recruitment companies & teams from scratch, sourcing and acquiring talent in diverse functional areas such as; Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, HR, Finance (perm & Temp), IT, Social Care, and Technical/Scientific.I have also personally recruited on both a retained and contingent basis throughout my career. My largest personal placement fee was invoiced at £36k when I placed a Managing Director within the UK arm of a US defence technology business. My most pleasing 'corporate' success to date, was the foundation & development of 'The Angel Services Group' (now branded as 'Coburg Banks'), our own highly successful, multi-function recruitment firm. I sold my share in that business in 2014 to focus exclusively on growing a recruitment brand more synonymous with filling senior management and board appointments. 'Gerard Peters' which I founded in 2009, now supports a range of global customers, in precisely that capacity. We regularly fill senior vacancies for our clients with salaries ranging between £60 -£150k. I still get a huge 'buzz' from successfully delivering talent into businesses and am proud to have delivered excellent talent to industry hundreds of times, supporting each individual through their personal process.A Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have a logical, technical appreciation of both manufacturing and business process combined with a high level of broad technical awareness. These facets help me enormously in fully understanding and communicating complex situations & scenarios when liaising between hiring managers and candidates, as well as closing high level pitches and coaching teams I have lead.Specialities: Recruiting, Man Management, training, Assessment, Forecasting, Building Businesses, Psychometric Assessment, New Business Development, Account Management, Coaching, Mentoring, Engineering, Manufacturing & Technology
