Chris started his journey in recruitment in 2006. After working for both high street and bespoke agencies, he’d spotted several gaps in both the market and industry customer experience he couldn’t fulfil working for others. As an ideas man, Chris decided to take the plunge and grow his own agency so that he could inject his ideas into the industry.

Over the last decade, Premier Recruitment Services has evolved from strength to strength. Along the way TPSG has taken flight, developing new brands under its wings. Day to day, Chris oversees the overall running of the brands, especially for Premier Recruitment Services and My Colleague. He is continuously meeting with suppliers – both new and existing – to keep all the products and services current, and the best that they can be.

When he’s not busy identifying innovative ways to progress TPSG Chris loves spending time relaxing with his with his family or enjoying a tipple with friends on and off the golf green.

Starting his career as an actor, Andrew moved into the packaging industry in 2012 after the birth of his daughter. As a family man, he wanted the balance of building a successful business and a great home life. Along his journey, Andrew identified critical industry flaws that were holding other companies back and by making a few adjustments, he was confident he could build and leaner, design-led business. And so he did.

Industry changes and client need meant that expansion was inevitable and in April 2016, Andrew and Chris combined resources. Both companies perfectly complimented the gaps that each other had, so it was a no-brainer to merge.

Day to day Andrew focusses his time primarily on the packaging side of the business, identifying and creating innovative packaging styles and ideas. It’s this ingenuity that attracted fantastic brands such as B&M, Iceland and JD Sports.

Outside of work, Andrew loves to unwind and relax with his family. As outdoor lovers, they can often be found navigating their way across the Lake District or spending time at the family stables.

As with most recruitment professionals, Damian started his career in an entry-level position, quickly moving himself up the career ladder. In a short space of time, he had the opportunity to manage his own branch. Thanks to his management skills and business acumen he was able to successfully transform the office from a small turnover to a medium turnover branch with great local recognition along the way. It was around this time he and Chris crossed paths. The opportunity to join the team was discussed, and so in 2011, Damian became the operations manager of the Premier Recruitment Services team.

Damian’s day is focussed on keeping the team happy, motivated and positively striving forwards towards the same goal while identifying opportunities with the bigger blue chip clients. Engagement of his team is at the heart of everything he does. His ethos is “If my staff are looked after, then the temps will be too.”

When he’s not running the team, his time is spent enjoying the balance of a fun but hectic busy family life. With two young boys, as a family, they have plenty to keep them occupied.
