Rory McMillen joins PMA
September 2007

PMA are pleased to announce that Rory McMillen has joined the
recruitment team to head up Marketing and Search. Rory has been involved
in recruitment within the communications and related sectors for over
15yrs.

He has built a reputation for recruiting individuals into pivotal roles
where they have made a significant contribution to the bottom line.

As such, his methodology has been to intimately understand the strategic
positioning of his client companies, then to go forward thought
processes and the dynamics driving the resultant strategy. Only then
could he begin his search for the right candidate. The real achievers
rarely apply for roles, so Rory makes it his business to know where they
are, what they are doing and what would represent their next career
challenge.

His ethos matches that of PMA - to provide a professional and effective
service, offering candidates and clients the opportunity to explore the
best options in a highly competitive marketplace. Some examples of work
carried out for clients include:

• Rory placed the hub of the Corporate Finance Team at BT post
  privatisation when they were in global acquisition mode.
  
• He put the Network Optimisation team into MCI Worldcom EMEA as
  the emphasis began to swing from revenues and onto margin/cost.
  
• Rory also put a number of pan European Project Manager COOs and
  CEOs into Ericsson Consulting between 1999 and 2001.
  
• He also placed the senior level marketing team into O2 through
  2003/4. Their recent results and performance reflect the impact they
  have made.

PMA are very pleased that Rory has decided to join us and look forward
to his immense contribution to the team as we embark on a rapid period
of growth. To contact Rory directly, please email him on rory@pmarecruitment.co.uk

Ken has been involved in the technology sector for over 20yrs, originally working within Systems Engineering, before successfully developing a key understanding within the recruitment market.

Holding several senior sales positions within the likes of AUSTIN HARRISON and PPS, Ken then formed his own recruitment firm in the mid-90's called RESOURCE SERVICES which became a widely respected company known for supplying key personnel within the technology sector.

Throughout his career, Ken has been renowned for giving up to date market knowledge to many of the UK's leading technology companies.

In 1999 after his own company reached its optimal point, Ken transferred his energies into Sales Recruitment in the technology sector to take advantage of the IT Boom. As a Sales Director for one of the UK's longest established Telecoms/Data Networking recruitment firms, he successfully completed numerous Search & Selection programmes for Country Manager/Global Account Director roles as well as building entire sales teams, managing advertising campaigns and advising companies on sales recruitment strategies.
