Samuel Knight International Strengthens Senior Management Team

Specialist project manpower and recruitment services provider - Samuel Knight International – has bolstered its senior management team announcing three new appointments as the business continues its efforts to grow the renewable energy recruitment business across the globe. 

Newly appointed are Jack Roberts who joins the business as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Alison Lowrie who takes on the role of EMEA and Rest of World (ROW) Strategy Director and Ben Townsend who joins as Head of Energy.

The announcement comes on the back of the manpower and recruitment specialist last month announcing the appointment of Chief Operating Officer, Dylan Christie, who will play an instrumental role in driving Samuel Knight’s strategy for growth as the business looks to achieve £50million in sales by 2025.

Speaking about the latest senior management appointments, Steve Rawlingson Founder and CEO at Samuel Knight said: “These appointments firmly demonstrate our commitment to becoming a world leading renewable energy and sustainable transport recruitment company.  Every one of these appointments brings with them enormous experience and incredible track records in building hugely successful companies. We’re thrilled that such incredibly well-respected professionals will now be part of the exciting Samuel Knight journey as we look to expand globally and dominate the renewable energy staffing market.” 

In the last month Samuel Knight has reported an increase in turnover of 28% taking the business to a record turnover expected to exceed £25million.  The business has also reported significant growth across its EMEA division with a turnover double its original forecast and standing at £14.5million.

Samuel Knight International was formed purely to service the renewable energy and sustainable transport industries.  The business is aiming to be 100% owned by its employees and - as its purpose -champions achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through the support of community initiatives and programmes that drive green and environmentally friendly initiatives.
