Karl McClelland’s Summary
Architectural Select may be relatively new on the scene but the partners of the company have successfully been providing management consultancy, business coaching, mentoring, career transition and business development services to a large number of organisations and individuals across the UK and Europe for many years.
We have taken advantage of years of experience gained within management, human resources, local government, sales and marketing, public relations and years of contacts and now specialise in resourcing and recruitment primarily for the Architectural and Construction industry. We also take on search and selection assignments for other organisations and have regular contact with large European technology firms.
Using this experience, continuous improvement and our growing suite of best practices together with innovative choice of tools and software, we are able to significantly improve many business processes and procedures as well as reduce important costs - an offer which many of our more 'traditional' competitors are unable to match.
We are currently working on behalf of numerous Construction, Architectural, Engineering and Project Management clients across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Canada, North America and the UAE who have asked us to help find talented people.

Owner
Thames Research
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Market Research industry)
January 2002 — November 2006 (4 years 11 months)
Thames Research provides clients with IT Research, Business Intelligence, Market Statistics and Analysis reports from a wide range of world-leading sources. These resources are available to clients and non-clients, presently involving over 40,000 contacts mainly in Europe.
Clients range from small consultancies to some of the most well known brands worldwide, including Microsoft, Siemens, Hewlett Packard, Lloyds TSB plc and Barclays. Some of my clients are from companies and organisations, which I personally find fascinating, such as aviation, formula one and satellite manufacturers.
My database of contacts is kept up-to-date with reports relevant to them in areas of business and technology such as Knowledge Management, CRM, Business Strategy and issues relating to Internet strategy and Applications Integration. This contact is either in the form of a telephone conversation or by means of a carefully designed newsletter aimed directly at them. -
Business Development / Recruitment Specialist
DBFS Managed Software Solutions
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Staffing and Recruiting industry)
October 2004 — July 2006 (1 year 10 months)
DBFS specialise in bespoke and managed software development for financial institutions. Through the continued resourcing of specialised and on-site software development teams, reliant on traditional IT recruitment agencies to provide the best candidates, it was decided that the entire function should be developed, from the ground up, in-house.
DBFS Recruitment Ltd. was specifically designed to actively seek new business independent from the company’s software development clients and projects, whilst also providing internal recruitment and support functions to on-site project managers.
My role covered all areas; from sales manager to recruitment consultant, database designer and developer to marketing manager, operations manager, candidate consultant and trainer to human resources manager. -
