Derby-based recruitment firm Ford and Stanley has appointed Richard Wright as its new head of sales for ‘Talentwise’, the blue-collar skilled and semi-skilled division of the group’s recruitment branch.
Since joining the company as a senior recruitment consultant in 2015, Wright has leveraged his extensive knowledge and network within the rail sector to fuel the growth of Talentwise.
His leadership has resulted in multiple promotions and the development of an expanding team.
He said: “I am thrilled to be part of a fantastic, supportive team at Ford and Stanley. The team has established itself as a trusted and innovative force for skilled, blue-collar recruitment; I’m incredibly proud to see how we’ve grown. Thank you to all at Ford and Stanley for their continued support towards my career development and
progression. Here’s to the next step.
“Our mission is to provide our candidates and clients with better workdays, which has been the cornerstone of our success as well as the dedication and hard work of the team.”
Ford & Stanley Chairman, Peter Schofield said: “The Talentwise business area has not only grown to become a significant part of Ford & Stanley Group services, but also to be widely recognised as a dynamic talent partner of choice for some of the UK’s most progressive employers. Ricky has been instrumental in growing this unique service, to ensure our clients not only benefit from our expertise and experience in sourcing the best
talent, but also from a fully comprehensive offering which gives access to pre-employment medical screening, industry-accredited training, onboarding support and occupational mental fitness support.”
