Mark Railton- Branch Manager for our Scunthorpe Office working within the Industrial Division
Quite ironic, my recruitment path is like everyone else’s… I fell into recruitment.
This started with one of Venatu’s current directors Alan Kent, who used to supply staff to me approximately 18 years ago. The company I was working for at the time was going through the redundancy process and Alan came to speak with some of us regarding job opportunities.
We Alan realised I was taking redundancy, he told me he had the perfect job for me. So, it began… RECRUITMENT.
I joined Alan at his current recruitment company looking after the onsite operation at one of their clients biggest, multi-user sites in Europe. This was a challenging job with up to 350 – 400 temps out on any given day. It was certainly an eye opener seeing it from the other side.
Over 14 years later, looking after the same major client through five different agencies, I decided the time was right to look for something different. It was at this point I received a message from a certain Mr Kent saying, “Are you back on the market?”.
This was about to be the start of my Venatu adventure. I am so happy that this is the route I took. The company is so forward thinking and have been a massive breath of fresh air just when I needed it most.
