A BETTER WAY TO RECRUIT TALENTED PEOPLE

We’ve asked the same thing since day one – is there a better way to recruit talented people?

In 2006 our founder, Saffa Ayub spotted a gap in the market – a lack of specialist recruiters in the UK procurement, operations and supply chain sector. Over the last decade or so Saffa’s passion and professionalism, coupled with her collaborative approach, have enabled her to build the UK’s leading recruitment firm in the procurement, operations and supply chain market. One that is proud to work with some of the industry’s biggest names.

Over the years, Saffa and her team have uncovered some of the brightest talent in the UK and across the globe. The kind of people you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Bramwith’s unrivalled database combined with an honest and principled way of working have resulted in hundreds of happy clients and candidates, as well as a number or prestigious awards. But none of it would have been possible without brilliant people of our own.

Today, Bramwith is home to some world-class recruitment consultants – innovators and leaders who are driving the industry forwards.

Our values

Our values are borne from our approach and instilled in each and every consultant. They are a true reflection of who we are.

Proven

We’re confident that our delivery record speaks for itself. Both our valued clients and our unrivalled database of candidates rely on us to find them the perfect match, and we never let them down.
Trusted

We are proud to hold successful and rewarding long standing relationships with our clients and candidates. By focusing on long term partnerships rather than short term gains we help build trusted alliances that bring strength and security to all parties.
World Class

Our comprehensive global candidate and client network just keeps growing, enabling us to share our industry expertise with our community across the globe. With offices in London, Amsterdam and New York, and more planned for the future, our reach is truly international.
Passionate

We genuinely care about our work, our candidates and our clients. Doing things half-heartedly just isn’t for us. We want to be the best and do the best we can.
