Permanent Recruitment Solutions

Robyn established Prime Appointments in 1992 and with over 35 years of recruitment experience, she is the driving force behind a highly effective, professional and friendly team. She is incredibly proud of the service that her company provides for clients, candidates and the high volume of people the team have supported over the years.

A number of our clients have worked with us for nearly 30 years, which is testament to the consistently excellent service Prime delivers. We credit this to Robyn's hugely positive energy and infectious passion for recruitment.

She has a genuine interest in how other businesses work and loves connecting people with people. Robyn invests hugely in her team and recognises that training and development together with a happy work environment are the reason that we continue to grow.

Her open, honest and positive personality mean that she is a real inspiration to everyone she meets, often instilling self-belief and energy to help others achieve their goals. Away from the office Robyn applies her energy to maintaining an impressive regime at the gym. She has recently taken up golf and in true Robyn style is already a force to be reckoned with on the golf course – practice makes perfect!

Jack O’Brien first joined the business in 2011 as a trainee recruiter on our fast-paced Industrial desk. There, he worked under Sales Director Colin’s careful supervision. Over the next 4 years of his training, he established excellent relationships with key Industrial clients before transferring to the Technical & Engineering division. As a Technical & Engineering consultant and then Manager, he has grown and developed the team to become what is now our biggest division, supplying temporary workers, contractors and permanent solutions across an extensive range of engineering sectors to international industry leaders, start-ups and SMEs alike across the region and beyond. With his consultative approach with both clients and candidates, he has proven his commitment to and passion for Prime. As such, in 2017, we were delighted to welcome him to join our Senior Management Team. Following the increased growth to the business which his management spearheaded, our board of Directors took the unanimous decision in 2019 to appoint him as a Director as of 1^st January 2020.

Simon’s Recruitment career started in 2004. He has successfully launched a new IT & Digital division since joining us in January 2017. He loves finding great people for great roles and particularly helping accelerate someone’s career. Simon prides himself on making strong matches for the long-term taking candidate career moves and his client’s next hire very seriously – Honesty and integrity are very important to him and you can rely on candid honest advice and feedback.

When not in the office, Simon can be found relaxing with his family, socialising with friends (usually in the pub drinking Real Ale of course!) or watching the England Rugby team!

With her passion for all things Prime, excellent communication skills and creative flair, second-generation member of the founding Holmes family, Katie is in her element working with our Accountancy & Finance clients. A people-person down to the ground, she thoroughly enjoys helping her candidates and clients find the matches for them. Applying her impeccably high standards to her search, consultancy and service alike, she is always looking for ways to go the extra mile. Passionate about all things Prime, she is the ideal person to take the reins of our Accountancy & Finance division as we approach our third decade in business. Outside of work, she has a healthy and active lifestyle, which she believes is key to maintaining peak performance and a confident, positive attitude.
