Branch Manager in Glasgow

Our client, a well‑established recruitment business with big plans and even bigger ambition, based in Glasgow, has an exciting opportunity for a Branch Manager to take the reins of their Industrial division. You’ll be stepping into a branch that’s already performing well with a solid client base, an amazing reputation across West & Central Scotland, and a team who know exactly what they’re doing. Now they just need you: someone commercially sharp, people‑obsessed and ready to grow something great without breaking a sweat. And because they’re investing heavily in the future, you’ll also get access to a brand‑new tech platform (goodbye admin slog, hello more time with clients) and a Leadership Development Programme designed to turn strong managers into exceptional ones.

• Clients trust you, candidates like you, and colleagues follow your lead.
