About Darren

​Hi, I work globally with our client base to ensure they’re receiving the right solutions to hiring needs that they face. Shirley Parsons plucked me from the obscurity of the water-cooler sales market back in 2008 and it’s been a pleasure to grow with the company, from its humble origins.

I've been involved with managing HSEQ resourcing campaigns in 20+ countries and enjoy exploring new territories.
