What are your main responsibilities at Deltra Group? 

P&L responsibility for our Utilities, Property & Construction, Oil & Gas, Retail, Travel & Transport portfolios, whilst also focusing on driving our project and transformation footprint across the Utilities sector. I also support Julian and Minesh in driving the overall operational performance and success of Deltra. I am passionate about seeing the team succeed and get a real kick about people developing in their careers here at Deltra.

What drew you to recruitment?

Like a lot of people, I fell into Recruitment by chance around 15 years ago and haven't looked back since. I liked the view that based on your individual efforts you would be rewarded for that effort directly. 

What do you like about working at Deltra Group?

Deltra has a great family feel and togetherness. We have really worked hard on maintaining a culture of fun and achievement and I really feel we have a blend of the two. I also enjoy that we strive to develop an understanding of our individual sectors and we look to develop long term relationships with our network. This is quite a unique approach within a sector that has a reputation for just focusing on financial outcome. We would rather form a relationship which is long standing which creates a long-term pipeline rather than a quick transaction. 

What are your three favourite things to do when you’re not at work? 

Having relocated from London to Bristol, I like exploring with my family what it has to offer. I am a father of two and married, so balancing work and family life are important to me. Outside of family life, I am also an avid Tottenham supporter and enjoy watching a game or two with friends and talking about football.

What is your personal motto? 

My favourite motto, is “If you want things in life, you have to work hard”, this was a phrase my late father would always say to me, and I live by that in everything I do both inside and outside of work.
