Our Staff and their Expertise

All of our team are experienced recruitment professionals. Our experience means we recognise the challenges most organisations face with regard to sourcing ,assessing and recruiting talent and expertise.

But it's more than the credentials; it's the way our consultants approach their work and develop relationships with you that makes us different.

Our passion for the clients for who we recruit is well recognised by all of them. Formal and ad hoc feedback from our clients confirms that that our commitment to them as employers makes a huge difference to our ability to recruit for them.

Darren Edwards - IT Manager

Joining Land Rover in 1990 Darren continued his personal development by gaining Electrical, Management, Software and Engineering qualifications. This led to him becoming a process manager for the Storm and L'Series cylinder Block line, leading a team of 56 People over three shifts.

Whilst in the role he quickly turned his talents to the job in hand. Resulting in some impressive savings of manpower and resources which are still used today.

He also became the IT 'go to' for all the specialised reporting needed in such a high pressure environment.

Leaving that industry in 2000 to become an IT consultant, he became increasingly involved in recruitment solutions for several companies until 2005 when he became a permanent member of the team at PPS.

Starting on his first project at the age of 14 to produce a database driven velocity and distance program for a local company, several one off projects at Land Rover and some Bespoke solutions whilst working as a consultant, Darren has now had over 20 years of experience in developing 'Application Solutions' on several platforms, as well as Kaizen, project management, process control, system design, Process analysis and internet security skills to name a few.
