Brendan Mills -
Managing Director |
| |
 |
Brendan started out life as a Jazz musician and was
signed with Prestige Elite records before diversifying into business
where he then joined one of the UK’s leading Sales recruitment
organisations. On his first day he was sat at a cold desk and asked to
set up a medical vertical within the company. At the time he had no
sales experience, no corporate experience and felt like a very small
fish in a very big pond. This sector is now one of the strongest areas
within their business and at the time Brendan left, he had won them 62
new business meetings at director level. He is very grateful for having
a great mentor at this job which has inspired him to pursue a career in
sales. After leaving this role he then moved to Shanghai to work for an
international engineering consultancy where he helped the business
development team win new business in the medical and aerospace sector.
After just two months he was asked to move back to Europe to set up and
run a UK Sales office where he has won new business meetings at board
level with the likes of GE, Toys R Us, Wall Mart Group, Essilor and
Imperial Tobacco.
Brendan greatly believes that good customer service is worth just as
much value as the services a business can offer. This is the fundamental
reason that drove Brendan to set up Search Independent as he could see
that Clients were not getting looked after to the level that they should
be within recruitment. This is quite evident from the reputation
recruitment firms seem to be gaining in the Western Market place. |
