STEVE SATCHWELL | DIRECTOR

Hey there, I'm Steve, one of the Directors here at HSL. Let me give you a glimpse into who I am and what I bring to our dynamic team.

Role and Responsibilities:

In addition to overseeing the general directorial duties, which encompass vital areas like payroll and finance, my role involves steering the ship in various capacities.

Professional Background:

My journey began with a rigorous five-year Indentured Apprenticeship, culminating in the attainment of an ONC in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Building on this foundation, I pursued an HNC in both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, as well as in Business Studies. Early on, I cut my teeth in the energy sector, working on conventional and nuclear power stations, including significant contributions to the Sizewell B Power Station Public Enquiry. My foray into recruitment commenced in 1989, and within a year, I was sought after to spearhead a recruitment agency in London. It was in 1998 that Jayne and I ventured into our own business, an endeavour that has been FIRP accredited and thrived for 25 years.

Skills and Expertise:

With a meticulous and organised approach, I bring to the table a wealth of experience spanning various industries, with a notable 35-year stint in recruitment.

Passions and Interests:

Outside the office, I relish quality family time and indulge in one of my true joys: sports. From the high-speed thrills of F1 to the heart-pounding excitement of football, you'll often find me tuned in. I’m a zealous Mercedes fan and supporter of Lewis Hamilton.

Achievements or Contributions:

One of the standout moments in my career was being deeply involved in the Sizewell B Public Enquiry. Additionally, Jayne and I take immense pride in nurturing and sustaining our own business for a quarter-century.

Team Collaboration:

Fostering a collaborative environment is at the heart of how I operate. Drawing out the best from each team member and infusing a sense of enjoyment into our workdays is something I find immensely rewarding.

Personal Statement:

In my approach, I believe in leading by example. Hard work and dedication are non-negotiables and I manage my team as I would like to be managed. The company's mission is a testament to our own creation, a fact that I hold dear.

Fun Facts:

Work, for me, is more than just a duty. I strive to make it enjoyable for everyone involved. A good joke or a well-timed practical joke can go a long way in creating a positive and engaging work atmosphere.
