Steve Cox, CEO of Spinnaker Global, is a law graduate from Swansea University who was called to the Bar but never practised.
He founded Spinnaker (under the original brand, Spinnaker Consulting) with Phil Parry in 1997. As Managing Director of Spinnaker from start-up until 2014, Steve grew the company to 40+ staff. Now CEO, Steve oversees the strategic direction of the three arms of the business – specialist recruitment, executive search and HR consulting.
I have been quite happy with the experience of working with Spinnaker, and I feel you understand our business: the fact that you concentrate on the shipping industry means we don’t have to explain ourselves too much, which is a great help. Other agencies do not have the same understanding, and therefore there is a lot of time wasted processing quite inappropriate CVs. I would say your approach is highly professional, and you definitely add value to the recruitment process.
