I founded McLarendon Search in 2013, following a successful career as a recruiter and in building/developing teams within the domestic and international recruitment sector. With over two decades of domestic and international search experience, I created and continue to develop this niche international search business, as a sole functional and vertical market expert. I formed the business to fill gaps which exist in the global recruitment space and we continue to seek feedback on our offering from trusted executives in my business network and client portfolio, to ensure the solutions we provide remain relevant, current and add value.
My background beyond recruitment;
I grew up in a sporting environment and was fortunate enough when I was younger to play rugby for my country and professionally both domestically and abroad. Sport remains an influence in my life both personally and professionally. The values and principles of which are engrained in McLarendon Search. It is who we are and how we conduct business. This has enabled us to capture market share, beyond our scale, in executive recruitment within Supply Chain Management, Operations and the Commercial functions. Building an extensive global network of supply chain and commercial executives within the Packaging, Chemical and FMCG/CPG sectors.
I also play an active role in supporting Mental Health, primarily in men. Both in sporting and business contexts.
In conjunction with MAN UP? We are promoting an attitudinal change and a forum, to support and enable men to speak more openly and work towards reducing the associated stigma, on the premise that it is not ‘weak to speak!’
