Ray Connolly

As founder and managing director of Fawkes & Reece, business development and successful service delivery are key areas that I have valuable experience in. I have extensive experience in executive head hunting and I am equally as strong in account management, advising clients on strategic appointments and large recruitment programmes. My experience around employee training and development have played a big part in the success of the company. I know how to shape and develop people, launch, structure and set up successful teams. I have a proven track record in managing the highest profile appointments across the construction sector and also play a key role in delivering recruitment programmes for the most respected brands on the UK’s largest construction projects.

My approach is something that has influenced and defined the culture of the business and our values. I am personable, hard-working and driven by results. I like to focus on detail, can be quite direct when managing key projects and tend to leave nothing to chance. My team shares the same high standards as I do and we adopt a collaborative approach. Most importantly I enjoy what I do, I am proud to work with such a great bunch of people and this helps me to operate with energy and enthusiasm.
