​As we move toward 2026, it’s an exciting time for the UK trades and engineering sectors, and for those of us supporting them through recruitment.

Skills shortages, project demand, and evolving workforce expectations continue to shape the market. What’s clear is that businesses are no longer looking for transactional recruitment, they want partners who understand their challenges, offer honest market insight, and deliver consistently.

As a Business Development Director, my focus remains simple: building strong, long-term partnerships with clients old and new. That means understanding projects properly, supporting workforce planning, and providing compliant, reliable talent that helps businesses move forward with confidence.

I’m proud of the relationships we’ve built and excited about the conversations we’re having as companies plan for the year ahead. 2026 presents real opportunity for those willing to collaborate and think long term.

If you’re reviewing your recruitment strategy or looking for a partner who adds real value, I’d welcome a conversation.

Here’s to a successful and productive 2026.
