Tony Gates

“I first approached Tony in 2010 for another Managing Director role while he worked for Carillion. Although he wasn’t interested in that particular opportunity he asked me about Contract Director candidates for his business which was the start of our relationship. Tony was responsible for taking my services over to Balfour Beatty (Thank you Tony) and has since recommended me to another business he’s associated with. I can say without a doubt Tony has great integrity and always gives me the time of day which is often hard to come by as a recruiter. I look forward to working with Tony in the near future. All the very best!”

“I reported to Tony when he was Managing Director of Balfour Beatty's Highways Services delivering internal and external communications, and I found Tony to be an extremely energetic and inspirational leader. We worked on an organisational transformation programme to make our business one which delivered service excellence, and Tony was always receptive to ways of engaging employees in a meaningful conversation. We worked on campaigns which required external communications and Tony was great a great communicator with the media, delivering key messaging on behalf of the company in a clear, concise and engaging way.”
