Bio
Mark Fletcher MIET MCIBSE MASHRAE
I had the opportunity to experience Gary's HR skills when I was employed by SSH Kuwait in 2014.. Gary proved himself as an efficient and enthusiastic HR manager during some very demanding recruitment periods. Gary was well respected by his team and has a sound and full understanding of the HR requirements of the GCC and has proved himself as a valuable contributor to the success of the business. Gary is an engaging and pleasant individual who will continue to succeed in the GCC region and would be an asset to any HR organization.

Gary is great at what he does. An experienced, pro-active, focused results oriented strategic HR leader with a good heart. I was directly reporting to Gary and have learned so much from him both professionally and personally especially, his way-of-tackling any complex situations and problems with ease and diplomacy. He is one of the Professional Colleagues whom I always respect since he has played a key role in my career development. I can say he is my Mentor! His primary strengths in the Human Resources field lie in his positive yet down to earth outlook, ability to think strategically and outside the box, and his unbridled concern for the wellbeing of both the staff and the company as a whole. He fulfils his professional strategies, exerting his best effort to have a balance between management and staff with a global outlook, undying passion for excellence. Gary was always very professional, dedicated to delivery of the requirements, while remaining calm and cheerful under pressure. He was a very positive manager of his staff and able to keep the team very stable and motivated in challenging situations. He is a real dedicated individual who works very much in a team environment. He is a great support in any management, an asset to any organization. He will be a great asset to any organization as he has great value for people and has in-depth knowledge in the field of Human Resources both operationally & strategically. He also possesses the relatively unique ability to comfortably and effectively communicate with all levels of an organization. As a trusted and respected colleague it is my pleasure to offer this endorsement. All the very best for your future endeavors.

Sep 2007 - Aug 2011
I originally joined Atkins in the Middle East in September 2007. Since then, I have taken up a number of Recruitment related positions, including Project Managing the recruitment of a new department for a prestigious client and managing a small team. When I moved back to the UK in late 2009, I took up a role as Recruitment Advisor in our Birmingham office. This position was very different in terms of volume and allows me to utilise my resourcing knowledge and skills to source high calibre candidates for the Rail and Asset Management business.
