Profile

I have been with Eleven since January 2018 with an initial mandate to grow the energy wholesale division encompassing roles in bringing power to market, renewable solutions, PPA contract specialists and utility supply sales and business developers.

I have 14 years combined experience gained in construction and project management recruitment, and have established a global network of contacts in the transmission and distribution of energy.

Having also had a 7 year career as a sports therapist, I understand the value of listening, communicating and developing relationships, all supported by the gathering and sharing of sound industry knowledge. 

On a personal level, I am highly motivated to enjoy the outdoors; I have completed an Ironman triathlon, ran my first ultra race in 2017 (54 miles), love to hike in the hills with my two reluctant dogs and enjoy a good Rioja.

What makes great candidate service for you?

I uphold the highest standards of integrity whether I’m representing a company or an individual. I believe that maintaining high levels of professionalism, including full and collaborative communication are key at all times.

TESTIMONIALS

  • ​"Richard is knowledgeable, professional and clearly has a thorough understanding of his clients he is placing for. I have and will continue to recommend him to others in the energy industry."

    Iain - Feb 2020

  • I have a good relationship with Richard; he has the right approach based on understanding my role, the energy industry and the type of opportunities which are relevant. Richard doesn't send me speculative JD's rather he will contact me if there is an opportunity worth discussion and / or a relevant contact to approach in an interesting business. To date we have not found the right opportunity, but I trust I will hear from Richard if and when there is something worth discussing. Richard is one of a small number of trusted exec headhunters I am working with.

  • "​I first met with Anthony and his colleague Richard a few months prior to the first COVID lockdown. They gave their true opinion of the market and the lack of opportunities at that time. Although they didn’t have any relevant opportunities for me during a troublesome 2020, they contacted me regarding a couple of openings elsewhere in the market, one of which led to an interview. In an industry where candidates are often treated like a commodity and regularly ghosted, I felt this was an organisation that valued job seeking candidates even if they had no openings at the time."

  • “Richard has been very helpful, even though at the end an offer was not agreed, I really appreciate his help and enjoyed working with him!”
