Finding a role that fits your career and your life
I recruit operations, manufacturing, technical, quality and health & safety specialists into leadership roles and growing teams. I work mainly with small and medium-sized engineering and manufacturing businesses across the Midlands and the South of England.
If you want a move that supports your career ambitions and the life you want outside work, I’d be happy to talk. Skills, salary and location matter, but so does being happy at work.
Experience that helps you see the bigger picture
With 30 years in recruitment and experience on three management boards outside Euro Projects, I understand how the right appointment can make a difference to a business. Some clients involve me in their leadership and strategic discussions, giving me insight into the organisation you could be joining.
Engineering and manufacturing keep evolving, but the people make the difference. Helping someone find a role where they can thrive is still the most rewarding part of my work.
A conversation that starts with you
I listen first. We’ll talk about the company culture, your priorities and the personal details that could make a move worthwhile. What matters changes throughout your career, whether that’s development, job security or work-life balance.
If there’s something you need to know before a final interview, I’m happy to go and find out. My aim is to help you make an informed decision about your next step.
A candidate’s experience
“Ian has been extremely professional throughout the process and has clearly spent many years within the recruitment industry. I would advise anyone looking for a new role to consider Euro Projects. I have been approached by what must be close to 100 in the last 20 years, and none have been as forthcoming and transparent as them.”

My advice: keep an open mind
Try not to rule out an opportunity before you’ve met the people behind it. A face-to-face interview can tell you far more about the role, the team and the culture than a job description alone.
Outside work
I love being outdoors, whether I’m gardening, cycling or spending time with family. I try to get three walks a day - and I don’t even have a dog.
