Finance Manager
The list of Lucy’s responsibilities is impressive. From monthly reports and cash-flow management, to pay role duties and paying invoices, taking in tax and VAT returns along the way, if it concerns MTS Recruitment’s accounts and numbers, Lucy is in charge.
Before MTS, she worked in an Italian restaurant as a supervisor and studied bookkeeping and IT skills while she was there. “The restaurant business helped me develop organisational skills and fast-response customer service,” she explains. “I soon took on banking and accounting duties. It was a great way to learn how to prioritise and stay focused.”
Her first job after leaving the restaurant was with MTS. “I really fell on my feet with this one,” she says.
Her biggest bug bear is people not responding to her. “I’ll always tread gently,” she explains. “First, a soft email, then a phone call, then get some help from the sales team which has direct contact with the client. I always get there eventually.”
Perhaps predictably for a finance manager, Lucy’s greatest pleasure is when an invoice is paid. “It’s a completion,” she says. “It’s ‘job done and I can give myself a little pat on the back."
For leisure, Lucy loves walking, preferably in the country and preferably by the sea or a lake. She’s also a keen table tennis player and picks up her bats whenever she gets the chance.
“I’ve been here since 2008,” she points out. “I started as holiday relief and I’m still here. I think that says a lot about the quality of this company.”
Every member of our MTS team has been chosen for their people skills. Whatever recruitment query is on your mind, call or email Lucy for a fast and reassuring response.
We were approached by MTS at a time we were looking for an agency to assist in our recruiting efforts. Marjorie, our consultant at MTS, worked professionally, diligently and effectively to help the project go smoothly. We approached MTS ourselves some months later and were immediately impressed with the quick response and their ability to focus on our requests. We were given six CVs right away and several others the following day, and we were able to hire a group of three individuals within a week. Because of this service and professionalism, we added additional staff through MTS a couple of weeks later. I highly recommend working with Mobile Technical Staff.

In the three years we’ve been working with MTS, we’ve always found them to be professional and proactive in providing a seamless approach to meeting our requirements. They’ve engaged a variety of trades to complement our teams on specialist mechanical and electrical projects, mainly within highly secured facilities. This has involved additional formal vetting and training of the candidates prior to site induction and we’ve never had cause to reject any of their assets. On occasion, we’ve had ‘last-minute’ situations out of hours and have been impressed with the efforts of the MTS team – even at director level – going above and beyond to facilitate a provision of labour at these times.

We’ve worked with MTS for five years and found them to be highly reactive in filling both permanent and temporary engineering roles. They’re the only agency that actually filters applicants to ensure they are suitable for the role before sending through CVs, which saves a great deal of time. Another positive is that they will guide you on realistic pay scales.
I would highly recommend MTS.Richard Lewis

For over a decade, Jason and his team have sourced some very good employees for Nemco. He always ensures he has exactly the right feel of the company so he can find the best fit applicants. Our relationship has always been open and honest – and I know that he’s the same when dealing with the candidates. He’ll always go above and beyond to ensure that both the client and the candidate are happy. He and the rest of his team are an exceptional and reliable recruitment consultancy. I’ve never had the feeling that Jason was overpricing or not doing his best for us, which is exactly what you need when recruiting.
