Alex's Story

Alex optimises exactly the right ‘quality’ of individual we look to welcome into the Greystone club.  When we got introduced to Alex he was very happy with his current employer, in fact it was over a year later that he decided the time was right for him to make a move. This was a decision he had been wrestling with for some time due to his loyalty, his current employers having invested allot of time into him, and having been there since the beginning of his career had made many friends during those 5 years. However Alex was all too aware that his experience was limited to High End Residential projects and felt that in order to develop as an engineer and continue to progress his career he needed exposure to a variety of sectors and a more diverse portfolio of projects. With his options limited on the south coast and enticed by the excitement of the challenge Alex felt that a move to London was the best place to take his career to the next level.

Since his first encounter with Greystone over a year prior, the model had stood out to him, now he was ready to commit to making the next move in his career, to Alex there was only one agent he was going to trust in helping him on this hugely important journey.

In our experience, the higher calibre the engineer, the most precise they are in their decision making progress about what they want in their next role. In Alex’s case this was certainly true, he had clearly thought about this in detail and it was not a decision he had made lightly, he had clear reasoning and rationale, and he knew he would have to step out of his comfort zone to achieve his aims.
