TESTIMONIALS:

"As Regional Director at Bellway PLC (and previously Construction Director at another PLC Residential Developer), I’ve worked with a number of Recruitment Agencies, but none have matched the quality, consistency and professionalism delivered by Daniel Owen. They understand the fast-paced and often short-notice demands of our sites and always respond quickly with skilled, reliable Operatives who arrive prepared and ready to work. 

Their communication is second to none – responsive, proactive, honest, and always solution-focused. Thanks to their support, we’ve been able to maintain momentum on our sites, meeting tight deadlines without compromising on quality. It’s a genuine collaborative partnership, and I trust their team to deliver every time. For that reason they are number 1 on my supply chain for any Operative requirements.”

“Having worked with Jamie and his Team at Daniel Owen for a number of years, I can recommend them as a highly effective recruitment partner. They have supported me in my most recent role with the appointment of a number of key positions within the challenging Retrofit and Decarbonisation sector.

 What sets them apart, on top of their impressive track record and knowledge of the Social Housing and Decarbonisation sectors, is their proactive communication and efforts in fully understanding our organisation and role profile beyond simply the job description. They have a focused, efficient and highly effective approach that consistently delivers. 

I would not hesitate to recommend them to any organisation looking to partner with a collaborative and results driven Recruiter“

“I have worked with Jamie very closely over the years, as he’s helped shape my Region with the best talent the market has to offer. I’m yet to find someone who operates with the level of knowledge, professionalism, partnership, and delivery that he consistently demonstrates.

From the outset of working with him, what stood out most was his genuine commitment to working with us, not simply for us. He took the time to truly understand our business — our culture, our ambitions, our challenges and the nuances of each role — and approached every brief as a collaborative partnership rather than a transactional assignment. Communication is always clear, honest, and solutions-focused. 

Jamie’s approach is refreshingly simple without ever compromising on thoroughness. Every stage of the process is structured, transparent, and well-managed. Candidate shortlists were never just a volume exercise; each introduction was carefully considered, well-vetted, and aligned not only to the technical requirements but also to our organisational values. The level of due diligence and attention to detail always gives me absolute confidence in his recommendations.

In a market where many talk about partnership and collaboration, Jamie truly embodies it. He is a an extension of my leadership team when it comes to senior talent acquisition, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any organisation seeking an executive recruitment partner who values collaboration, clarity, and results in equal measure.”
