Adam has been an integral part of GCS for over seven years. Joining the company when it operated from a small office, he has witnessed and contributed to the business and team’s remarkable growth during this time. His journey with GCS began when he was seeking a new opportunity and was introduced to Mike Parry, the Managing Director. Mike painted an inspiring picture of a career in recruitment, emphasising the satisfaction of helping people find new roles. Intrigued by the challenge and variety recruitment offered, Adam was convinced this was the right path for him.
From the outset, Adam felt that GCS was the perfect environment to develop his skills and become part of a thriving business. His work focuses on the construction supplies sector, a field he finds immensely rewarding due to the strong relationships built with both clients and candidates. His expertise lies in headhunting—understanding clients’ specific needs and identifying top-tier talent to meet those requirements. However, Adam firmly believes that success in recruitment isn’t just about finding the right person for the role, but ensuring the position is the perfect fit for the candidate. By fostering genuine connections and understanding candidates’ priorities, Adam has helped maintain a high retention rate for clients.
Over the years, Adam has navigated the ever-changing landscape of recruitment, witnessing industry highs and lows, including the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Through it all, GCS has remained a trusted and adaptable name in the sector, responding swiftly to client needs. Adam attributes this resilience to the company’s supportive culture, which balances independence with guidance. He fondly recalls the unique opportunity he had to work remotely from Barcelona for 18 months—a fantastic experience, though he suspects he was called back because the team, particularly Simon, missed him too much!
Outside of work, Adam enjoys spending time with his wife and young daughter, particularly as they have recently settled into a new home near the office. A long-time sports enthusiast, he has recently stepped away from playing rugby but stays active by playing tennis, including the occasional competitive match with Mike.
