BARCLAY MEADE STRENGTHENS TEAM OF CONSULTANTS IN LONDON

Leading professional staffing recruitment consultancy Barclay Meade has bolstered its team in central London with the appointment of Sunjeev Maini as management consultant.

Maini will be charged with developing Barclay Meade’s nationwide procurement offering, leading a team of consultants to recruit and place high-calibre candidates working across the commercial, technical industrial and financial services sectors.

Based at the company’s offices in Covent Garden and reporting in to head of operations, Russell Soan, Maini will also be tasked with developing Barclay Meade’s Buying & Merchandising offering in the retail sector.

Prior to joining Barclay Meade – a wholly owned subsidiary of the Matchtech Group – Maini served a two-year tenure as team leader at fellow recruitment company, Hudson. Before this, he led a team of three consultants at Badenoch & Clark in the provision of financial services sector staff, including qualified accountants.

Maini said: “The economic downturn has placed a huge amount of pressure on recruitment agencies throughout the UK, meaning competition has been extremely keen. But despite the hesitancy of some firms to take on new staff, recruitment agencies continue to play a pivotal role in the drive towards a full economic recovery.

“Agencies such as Barclay Meade have emerged from the recession unscathed due to the ability of its consultants to get underneath the skin of their clients. Its reputation has also been strengthened as a result of the professional and uncomplicated service it provides and the high-calibre candidates it attracts and I am delighted to be joining the team.”

Barclay Meade is one of the UK’s leading professional staffing recruitment consultancies, specialising in finance and accountancy, financial services, human resources, procurement, supply chain and logistics, sales, marketing, communications and e-commerce and executive search.

Soan added: “An increasing number of businesses in the UK have become hesitant about taking on new staff, and are therefore seeking only the very best candidates to plug the gaps in their organisations.

“Sunjeev brings with him a vast amount of experience within the procurement sector, and we hope he and his team will harness this knowledge to cement Barclay Meade’s growing reputation as one of the country’s leading professional staffing recruitment specialists.”

Launched in August 2010, Barclay Meade has offices in Whiteley, Basingstoke, London, Aberdeen and St Albans.
