Who We Are
We've spent over twenty years inside UK sales and recruitment teams. Managing pipelines, hitting targets, building processes, and hiring people. Not advising from the sidelines. Actually doing it.
We started Marwell Recruitment because we saw the same problems everywhere: businesses wasting money on broken processes, good candidates lost to slow hiring, and agencies that post adverts and hope for the best.
We're here to fix that. You'll get honesty, structure, and results.
Sectors
Mortgage & Lending | Insurance & Broking | Banking & Finance | IT & Technology | Sales & BD | Accounting | HR | Legal & Compliance | Customer Service & Operations
Meet the Team
You deal with the people who actually do the work. No account managers, no handoffs. We keep our client base deliberately manageable because we'd rather do brilliant work for fewer businesses than average work for loads.
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Legal • Financial Services • Insurance
A 23-year career — 16 years in recruitment, 11 with legal in remit — built on four years as an Aldermore Bank mortgage underwriter: a background most recruiters in these sectors simply don't have. Michael works with law firms, insurers, and financial services businesses across the North West, placing candidates from newly qualified through to partner and director level. His sector depth means he can have a straight conversation with hiring managers about what they actually need, not just what the job description says. He founded Marwell Recruitment on the conviction that recruitment in regulated sectors deserves more rigour, more accountability, and far less noise.
OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Accountancy • HR • Sales & Office Support
14 years in recruitment agency operations as an office manager — running the systems, compliance and delivery behind accountancy & finance, HR, and sales & office support desks. Max builds lasting relationships with candidates and clients because he understands what good looks like in each of these disciplines, and he’s direct about it. He places part-qualified and qualified accountants, finance managers, HR generalists and specialists, business development and account management professionals, and the office support roles that are harder to fill well than most businesses expect. Methodical, consistent, and relentlessly delivery-focused.
CHIEF BARKETING OFFICER
4 years of distinguished service in office morale, visitor relations, and strategic napping. Leads all biscuit acquisition initiatives and provides unsolicited quality assurance on every packed lunch that enters the building. Has never missed a deadline he was aware of. Undefeated in staring contests with the postman.
How we work together
We've worked together long enough to know where each of us adds value, and where to get out of the other's way. Michael leads on commercial conversations, market positioning, and the human side of every brief. Max leads on delivery: sourcing, process, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Between us, every client gets both ends of the work without the politics of a bigger firm. It's a small team by design.
