v7 Recruitment

About me:

I’ve worked in recruitment across both the UK and international markets, with a big part of my career involving placing people into roles overseas, including across Scandinavia.

More recently, I’d been focused mainly on the UK, so joining V7 gives me the chance to get back into the international side of recruitment, which is something I’ve always really enjoyed.

I’m now a Principal Consultant within the permanent Data Centre team, working alongside Claire and recruiting across the market internationally. There’s a lot about the sector that feels familiar because of the technical and construction-focused roles I’ve worked with before, but there’s also plenty that’s new. It’s a market that’s growing quickly, there’s a lot happening globally and that makes it an interesting space to be working in.

Outside of work, I’m a big Everton fan and used to play plenty of football myself, although these days I’m more likely to be found on a golf course. When it comes to films, Goodfellas and The Godfather are all up there for me, so there’s definitely a bit of a theme.

What attracted you to V7 Recruitment?

A big part of it was the opportunity to get back into international recruitment.

I’ve always enjoyed working across different countries, speaking to people in different markets and the variety that comes with that. After spending the last few years focused more on the UK, I was keen to get back to doing more overseas work.

Data Centres was another big draw. A lot of the roles and people within the sector overlap with areas I’ve recruited into before, so I can bring that experience with me while getting involved in a market that’s moving quickly and has a lot going on internationally.

For me, it felt like a really good opportunity to combine the parts of recruitment I already know and enjoy with something a bit different.

Aviation MRO Recruitment: How to Attract and Retain Contractors

By Josh Ramsay • October 26, 2026
Finding an available aircraft engineer and finding one who can actually fulfil your maintenance requirements aren't always the same thing. For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) businesses across Europe, aircraft ratings, recency, licence privileges and mobilisation requirements can quickly narrow a shortlist. And when the next maintenance programme arrives, will the engineers who've already worked with you want to return? Attracting contractors calls for an accurate brief, a competitive assignment and a practical mobilisation plan. Encouraging them to return depends on what happens after they accept.
