Testimonials
“Adam was a key driver in the expansion of our global team and the development of a new unit to meet increased demands as a result of Covid-19. Over the last year, he has helped secure numerous candidates within Marken across areas such as global accounts through to operations. He continues to do so with high efficiency. There was a clear process laid out by Adam at the start which was concise and helped us secure the best international talent on the market. Collaborating with a specialist recruiter such as Spencer Riley in the Cold Chain industry meant Adam already understood the nuances of our niche sector and ultimately saved us time by utilising his existing knowledge of our company culture and the various allied markets.”

Adam Dowson has completed a number of assignments for UPS resulting in key appointments that have added real commercial value to our team and had a great cultural fit. The first candidate Spencer Riley placed with UPS involved an international relocation and they managed the process very effectively, maintaining clear communication between the candidate and our business functions.
