Paul Gregory
Group Managing Director/ Owner
Paul began his recruitment career in Scotland in the 90’s working for a small independent consultancy. He made light of work in establishing himself as a strong force within the Call Centre market in Scotland. In the years that followed he has progressed through the ranks until October of 2006 when he decided to go it alone, then “One Recruitment” was born.
Paul is a visionary with impressive ideas and an innovative approach, which enables us to bring you tomorrow’s recruitment today.
When Paul has the time, he will be hiding on Loch Lomond relaxing on his boat or walking his 3 very large dogs. Paul is a self-confessed shopaholic and also loves to travel to our Kent office on a regular basis where he enjoys basking in the never-ending sunshine, eating ice-cream and can’t get enough of people watching!
