Andrew Phiri Interview

Why Recruitment and what do you like about it?

I chose recruitment because I enjoy working with people and building lasting relationships. I enjoy meeting people and getting to learn about different businesses, products and technologies through both clients and candidates.

Why Chase & Holland and tell us about your career to date with Chase & Holland?

For me, business culture was a big consideration when I was deciding on which organization to start my career in recruitment. I knew I wanted to join a business of good integrity and strong values so Chase & Holland was the best fit for me.

I spent my first 18months at Chase & Holland building a new desk in a new Supply Chain market for the business… this provided great opportunities and challenges in equal measure and thanks to the support and guidance I received during my training, my time at Chase & Holland has been a big success to date. Now setting up the Information Technology division for the business, I relish the opportunities and challenges that presents.
