UK Technology Manager

Austin Fraser Limited is a staffing and recruiting agency which specializes in IT recruitment, Project Management, Engineering recruitment, Consultancy and Technical recruitment.

I joined Austin Fraser in 2007 with the two co-founders working in a converted garage as a start up business. I am hugely proud to have worked here for over 10 years to witness and play my part in the success and growth of the business. Reading is AF's global HQ having expanded into Germany and America with six offices across all three locations. My role as Automated Technology Director is to oversee the sales, growth and strategy of our Automation & Controls business internationally, working with and developing our current and future leaders. I am looking to engage and connect with local sales professionals and recruitment consultants to help us continue on our amazing journey. Having long retired from playing football I am now the coach of my son's local football team. An avid Everton fan who's motto is "Nīl satis nisi optimum" a Latin phrase that means "Nothing but the best is good enough;". Which may not be true with their current league position but is something that I hold as personal motivation. Also a keen cricket, rugby and golf fan. I am a member of my local golf club being driven to improve and hopefully one day lose my slice!
