Alastair Ames

Alastair Ames is a seasoned business consultant with 32 years of experience working with businesses of all shapes and sizes. With a background in sales and sales management roles within the mechanical handling and car leasing sector, Alastair established his own recruitment consultancy in 1986. Over the years, his business has built a reputation for high levels of integrity and quality of service, specialising in search within the automotive sector. However, due to client and candidate demand, Alastair has worked in numerous other sectors including transport and logistics, the radio industry, exhibitions, IT, and media. Alastair's holistic approach to consultancy has led to his advice being sought on various projects outside of pure recruitment and search. He provides regular consultancy services to board members and shareholders.
