Meet The Team

Richard Abson

I started in recruitment after finishing college; relocating to the South East to work with one of the UK's leading IT recruitment consultancies. Upon moving back to The North West I went on to work with a large group, specialising in IT & technical recruitment for the Formula 1 sector.

I joined the Automotive industry in 2004, with a regional office for a National Firm specialising in automotive recruitment. In 2009 I set up The Automotive Recruiters (now Richard Abson Group).

I moved to Chester in 2008 and spent a number of years in the Hospitality industry. After studying for a CIPD Level 5 qualification in Human Resources I realised my interest in pursuing a recruitment career. I have previously worked with a national agency within their Transport & Logistic division looking after the North West region. I joined Richard Abson Group as I liked the way they work, the close relationships they build with clients and candidates and the passion that everyone has for doing things properly and professionally.
