Beki Bentley
Branch Manager
I joined Jenrick Engineering in May 2011, after spending 2 years in industrial recruitment.
I thrive on building rapport with my clients. Not only do I enjoy learning about their business and recruitment challenges, but I also take an interest in their up-and-coming projects, what makes them tick and their favourite foods, hobbies and interests.
I firmly believe in working alongside a client rather than just for them. Recruitment is a partnership and over the last 10+ years, this approach has enabled me to support a number of large engineering manufacturing businesses with their recruitment needs, from skilled shop floor operators to senior management.
I relish a challenge and love tackling ‘out of the box’ roles. Give me a tricky position and I won’t stop until it’s filled.
I pride myself on offering solutions and ensuring that my clients are never left wondering what I am doing. I value honest communication and believe it should be a two-way street. I might share some tough truths, such as ‘you’re not paying market rates’ or ‘your expectations are too high for the level of candidate you’re trying to attract’ but I will always provide a solution or alternative to support my clients and their businesses.
Outside of work, I enjoy weekend getaways in the UK and Europe, as well as vacations to warm destinations.
My daughter is my motivation and she has already told me she wants to work at Jenrick Engineering when she is old enough!
