Gary Bartholomew

Senior Business Development Lead

I joined QCS Staffing in January 2022. I have 11 years of recruitment experience supplying trades & labour within the Construction sector. Moving to Technical white collar withing the Data Centre division is exciting as it will be challenging. However, the training and support at QCS Staffing is second to none and really emphasises their ‘core values’ which they hold strong.

Outside of the office I am a devoted dad to twins and toy poodle, with a love for the gym, all sports, and a cold pint.
