Founded by industry expert Ashley Beck after spotting flaws in traditional agencies, the firm launched with a mission to simplify global recruitment.

Operating internationally, they’ve filled roles across the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, South Korea and the Benelux region.

They focus on mid‑ to senior‑level positions in automation, materials handling and technical operations.

Revenue streams come from retained and contingency search assignments for global manufacturers and logistics providers.

Typical projects include sourcing talent for robotics, pallet racking, forklifts, conveyors, machine vision and IoT roles.

They’ve built long‑standing partnerships through deep discovery processes that go beyond quick placements.

An unusual strength is the dual‑base setup in the UK (Tamworth) and US (Milwaukee), enabling transatlantic reach.

Their founder’s background across multiple agencies fuels a consultative, relationship‑driven approach.
