I have worked extensively with MTS&S over the last seven years. Initially I was a candidate successfully identified and approached by Ross to join the Michael J Lonsdale team in 2015. After taking up the Operations Director position, I partnered with MTS&S again, tasking them with growing my company’s electrical division.

Michael J Lonsdale is a leading UK contractor specialising in large mechanical and electrical installations for a range of clients in the public and private sectors. The business is one of four divisions that form the Michael Lonsdale Group, where work expands to smaller value works (Redworx), rail-specific M&E (Lonsdale Rail) and work across central England and the midlands (E7 Building Services).

The Birth of Michael
Taylor Search & Selection

After going through a hard labour in a Farringdon public house one evening, three maverick recruiters welcomed a healthy master business plan. Born from a desire to disrupt the world of construction recruitment based on their own observances of where the industry fell short, they began to grow a unique brand aligned with their values, aspirations and idealistic millennial daydreams that they were sure they could turn into reality.

With visions of glamorous start-up offices filled with bean bags, beer fridges and widescreen TVs, they secured a £20,000.00 loan and fired up three over-specced Macs to format CVs and fire off endless emails.

As dreamers do, they embraced a salary- and security-free lifestyle spent mainly in a windowless broom cupboard office in the heart of Brick Lane. There, they set out to deliver first-class service and build a reputation for quality.
