Sporty with a musical flair – just two of the things we were able to find out about Peter, Recruitment Manager for our Oxford office, in this quick Q&A.
I have always worked within recruitment and started off my career working within the industrial sector, supporting clients recruiting contingency labour within Dorset. I then moved to Oxfordshire and gradually moved away from industrial and into the technical/scientific sectors.
