Paul Connolly
I am the founder and CEO of 300 North. I've worked at every level within a recruitment company from a Trainee up to CEO, wearing hats of the HR Manager, FD, Marketing Manager or IT Manager at some point along the way! Many of my personal values are mirrored in the way we work at 300 North; Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge, Enthusiasm sprinkled with a bit of fun!
Tell Us About Your Professional Background
I started my recruitment career in 2004 when I was recruiting teachers in Yorkshire. I moved into FM in 2006 and started 300 North in 2014 with the desire to build a different type of recruitment company. I have built 300 North up from just myself in a home office to the growing team of FM experts that it is today. My vision for the future of 300 North is to continue to specialise and grow through having a better relationship with clients and candidates so that they work with us for many years to come.
What Do You Like Doing Outside Of Work?
When I'm not working you'll find me being a big kid with my own young children and wife and doing as much outdoor exercise as a I can, which usually involves riding up some of Yorkshire's finest hills on my road or mountain bike. For some reason I also enjoy playing badly at golf! I'm a car enthusiast and can waste many hours surfing car websites!
