Darren Woodhams
Operations Director, Michael J Lonsdale Group
“”

I have worked extensively with MTS&S over the last seven years. Initially I was a candidate successfully identified and approached by Ross to join the Michael J Lonsdale team in 2015. After taking up the Operations Director position, I partnered with MTS&S again, tasking them with growing my company’s electrical division.

Michael J Lonsdale is a leading UK contractor specialising in large mechanical and electrical installations for a range of clients in the public and private sectors. The business is one of four divisions that form the Michael Lonsdale Group, where work expands to smaller value works (Redworx), rail-specific M&E (Lonsdale Rail) and work across central England and the midlands (E7 Building Services).

We have worked with Andy Green from Michael Taylor for almost 10 years. Unlike many other recruiters Andy really understands us as a business as well as the Construction industry we operate within.

 

Andy always takes the time to get a detailed brief of our recruitment requirements and will accumulate a shortlist of his personally vetted candidates. We have found that over the years Andy has been key in strategic recruitment activities for our business and prepares the candidates to a high level prior to interview. With Michael Taylor the post interview process of offers and acceptance is equally as seamless, we are extremely happy with the Michael Taylor team and regard Andy as our go too recruiter.

Richard McCracken
Divisional Director, 8Build

I have worked with Andy Green for over 8 years and during that period of time he has placed a number of high quality candidates into my team. Andy personally, and his team at Michael Taylor Search, have a very honest, communicative and hard working approach to recruiting. He listens to what I am looking for, is happy to challenge and question the brief I provide and only submits appropriate candidates that can do the job required. He doesn’t send over cv’s for the sake of it and has a collaborative approach instead of being a ‘pushy’ sales person. We have periodic catch up calls/ meetings and his team takes their time to get to know and meet their candidates, crucial for proper assessment and vetting, and judge their suitability for our business.

Michael Taylor have a real understanding of the fit out and refurbishment sector; understanding the type of work we undertake and they have built up a very good network in the market. Andy is very good at spotting talented candidates that work at smaller, or ‘left field’ businesses that have a strong skill set and are ready to make the step up into a company like 8Build.

 I would happily recommend Michael Taylor Search to any contractor looking to use them as a recruitment partner.

The Birth of Michael
Taylor Search & Selection

After going through a hard labour in a Farringdon public house one evening, three maverick recruiters welcomed a healthy master business plan. Born from a desire to disrupt the world of construction recruitment based on their own observances of where the industry fell short, they began to grow a unique brand aligned with their values, aspirations and idealistic millennial daydreams that they were sure they could turn into reality.

With visions of glamorous start-up offices filled with bean bags, beer fridges and widescreen TVs, they secured a £20,000.00 loan and fired up three over-specced Macs to format CVs and fire off endless emails.

As dreamers do, they embraced a salary- and security-free lifestyle spent mainly in a windowless broom cupboard office in the heart of Brick Lane. There, they set out to deliver first-class service and build a reputation for quality.
