Stephen Fowler’s Summary

Having been in recruitment for close to 20 years I have been involved in many aspects within this industry.

The majority of experience has been permanent recruitment within the sales sector including healthcare, pharmaceutical and commercial.

My experience is varied from new business development to Director of a medium sized consultancy.

As a people person I pride myself in the contacts I have built over time, and the respect I have gained from clients and candidates.

If you were to ask my peers what I would be remembered for, I would assume the ability to create business from nowhere and the ability to turn a lost opportunity into a placement would stand out

From a personal point, what has made me most proud are the consultants who I have managed and trained, who have then gone on and succeeded on their own right.
