Jenny Latham, Delivery Executive:
“Thomas Gorton, where do we start.
It’s been my pleasure working with you and building a phenomenal platform over the years, despite the occasional grumpiness, quips on my food choices and his questionable music taste.
Right, that’s enough fun now!!
I’ve worked with Tom for ten years now and it’s safe to say, I’ve witnessed him develop and grow into what I can only describe as a dedicated, fastidious, valued friend and colleague.
Tom is dedicated to his role enormously; he takes such pride in understanding his clients and candidates and building relationships with them.
We’ve seen the emergence from a hair, car and gym focused young man into a truly knowledgeable expert in his work.”
What is your role at QCS Staffing?
Initially, I did a bit of DE work maybe around two or three months, just to learn the industry and the market. But, after working a couple of roles I set up a business plan and was allowed to just crack on growing and developing new business relationships within the Life Science sector. I spent around 6 years on the business development side and then decided I wanted to focus on predominantly the Nordic regions, growing and developing those customers. So, currently I’m a sales team leader, and my role is split into two parts. Part one is basically coaching, mentoring, and leading the team: Alex, Meg, and Hannah. The other side of my role is looking after clients and over 120 consultants. This can also consist of seeking out new opportunities.
What do you love most about your job?
So, there are multiple things that are really quite rewarding from the team perspective, seeing them grow and succeed – watching them learn, apply, get new client deals, and then ultimately get promoted. Within the sales sides of things, I love going out and meeting new people, travelling to different places like Denmark and India, and building client relationships in face-to-face meetings. Finally, I have made a lot of good friends, not just within QCS Staffing but also with clients.
