National Account Manager
Marc joined us in January 2019 to expand the Electrical and Electronics Division. He brings a wealth of recruitment experience and has quickly proven to be a natural fit to the team.
Marc’s passions outside of work are running on the heath with his Labrador and art, especially French Impressionism. His favourite artist is Degas which if you know about his work, fits perfectly with Marc’s earlier career as a professional ballet dancer.
Big congratulations to Marc Gibbs who won his first top performer award in October having only joined the business in January.
