Elliott Lewry
Director
An established Recruitment Director boasting an impressive client portfolio gained over 29 years in the Mechanical and Electrical contracting arena. Elliott owes his success to the relationships formed over almost three decades and the client recommendations he has received.
Elliott is a passionate, dedicated recruitment professional and possesses an in-depth knowledge of both the industry he represents and the workforce within it. His career began as Consultant for Lane Associates where he was introduced to one of his current business partners.
He was headhunted by Right Associates to head up their Industrial Division responsible for contracts in excess of 400 staff and later headhunted again by Knight Benton before returning to Lane Associates some years later at the Directors request. Lanes was sold to The Options Group and Elliott continued a very successful career for a number of years.
It was no surprise that Elliott was headhunted when The On-Site Group was formed in 2003 and progressed very quickly to Branch Manager for both Portsmouth and London offices within The On-Site Group Ltd.
