Formerly a big billing recruiter and then Managing Director of an international recruitment group, which grew from 3 to over 100 staff, he now presents to packed audiences at recruitment events around the world.

His substantial knowledge of UK and international recruitment markets has been further enhanced by founding (and then successfully selling) Elite, the UK’s only recruitment-specific MD-development programme, where he has worked with over 100 UK recruitment business owners.

Following the sale of Elite , Mike now has a few days available each month to help aspirational business owners take their recruitment companies to the next level.

“Immensely experienced in the recruitment industry, Mike is driven, focused, constantly learning and always positive. Talk to Mike and you’ll learn something new, figure it out or come away with a piece of advice or new contact who will help you move your business forward. Meeting Mike and learning from the many talented individuals he has introduced us to, has been the single most important contributory factor in enabling Synapps to grow to the next stage.”
