Andy Hopkins
Senior consultant
Originally a Civil Engineer, I commenced my recruitment career in 1996. I have always recruited within the technical disciplines and have significant business-as-usual and large-scale recruitment project experience.
I now focus on placing Ground Engineering professionals across a broad range of sectors, and I am often involved with the development of larger PSL clients.
My network is strong in the UK and New Zealand and I pride myself on making a difference for clients and candidates.
I live in Hereford with my wife and three kids. In my spare time I am usually planning my latest hard landscaping projects punctuated by the odd round of golf.
