Camino Partners, New Office, New Director and Market focus

Camino Partners is pleased to announce that Sachin Ruparelia has joined Alan McBride as Co Director and Shareholder with effect from 3rd January 2012. Camino has also relocated to new offices based in Barbican.

McBride, who is an ex FD and MD of £80m  IT and Technical recruiter Hunterskil Howard, has specialised in Finance Director recruitment for growth businesses since 1998 and has hands on experience of growing his own business through to a trade sale and exit. Ruparelia who worked with him at Balanced People for 5 years from 2005-2010, has developed a niche specialism in recruiting accounting and finance staff for the recruitment sector and has recruited at all levels in finance from the relatively junior roles in  payroll, billing and credit control, through to more senior FC and FD roles.

Now reunited at Camino, McBride and Ruparelia have focused the business exclusively on the Recruitment, Human Capital and related sectors and positioned Camino as the “go to” consultancy for accounting staff and financial opportunities within the sector.

McBride commented that he is excited to have returned to a sector he loves and to be doing so at an “interesting” time. He believes that a highly targeted niche approach is not without its risks in tough times but says Camino will turn business away if it’s not in their sweet spot or close to it, to show their target customers how serious they are about wanting their business. He adds  “If there are finance staff openings within the recruitment sector, our commitment to the sector makes us the obvious and perhaps only choice of supplier. We have a wide network and database of sector experienced staff able to hit the ground running and add value quickly. Furthermore when a candidate from outside of the sector is the preferred choice, our knowledge of the sector makes us great ambassadors for a sector that will not be every accountants first choice career move.” 

Ruparelia added that he is excited to be working for himself in market he has been successful in for 6 years and he looks forward to building Camino into a truly respected supplier within the sector.
