Bio
Steve Wilson
Chris is first class professional, a seasoned recruiter and executive head-hunter. Chris landed me the most rewarding assignment of my career to date, initially for18 months as a Project Director, to lead an Insourcing Project for Stoke-on-Trent City Council, creating a new wholly owned subsidiary company, which included a large scale TUPE Transfer of 450 employees, new supply chain procurement, Trade Union relations and transformational leadership. Chris, then excelled further by securing a further contract for another 2 years! to run the new company for its first two years. Chris is fantastic at what he does, a genuine nice guy too and I can highly recommend him.

I commissioned Chris to deliver a pro-active headhunt for people for our asset management team who would fit our skills profile and suit our organisational culture. Chris refined our job and person specification, implemented a plan to identify, approach and engage with people on our behalf. We were delighted to meet a shortlist of skilled, thoroughly briefed candidates who were motivated to join us. We were very happy with the quality of the service and support from Chris and Pennington Choices. We set out to find two recruits and actually hired three people, which was a great outcome for Magenta.
