Meet the branch manager.
Gemma Lewis, David Meloy
Gemma Lewis: As an experienced Operations Manager, I am passionate about building strong, lasting relationships with both our clients and candidates. Recruitment is not just about filling roles, it’s about truly understanding people, businesses, and the goals that drive them. I take pride in ensuring our clients feel supported and confident in the service we provide, whilst candidates feel valued and understood.
Equally important to me is maintaining the highest standards of compliance and operational excellence. In a fast-moving industry, compliance is more than just a requirement—it is a foundation of trust, protecting both clients and candidates while ensuring every process is fair, transparent, and ethical. By combining a people-first approach with a strong commitment to compliance, I ensure that every partnership is built on integrity, consistency, and long-term success.
David Meloy: I lead the Driving Division, a fast-paced and highly demanding sector that requires both precision and flexibility. I take great pride in consistently delivering cost-effective, reliable solutions while maintaining the highest standards of customer service.
My focus is not only on meeting client expectations but on exceeding them, building long-term partnerships based on trust and performance. Whether it’s managing complex logistics, adapting to last-minute changes, or finding innovative ways to add value, I am committed to providing clients with a seamless service that balances efficiency with a personal touch.
With a passion for the industry and a people-first approach, I strive to ensure the continued success of the division and the satisfaction of every client we serve.
