Dean Cowdell

Associate Director Specialising in Construction

I started at Linsco back in 2009 working on the Yorkshire team resourcing for candidates after a few months I developed into a fully-fledged sales consultant supplying temporary trades and labour to our clients in the Yorkshire area. After a few years I took up the challenge of establishing the Linsco brand in the North West region. In 2015 we opened our North West office which focused solely on supplying temporary labour and trades and I managed the office day to day. We built a successful team and managed to make Linsco a big presence in the region and we continue to be so currently going from strength to strength.

Over the last couple of years I have also become involved in managing other teams and seeing different areas of the business which I really enjoy it is nice to have some diversity within your role day to day.

My role as an Associate Director will be continuing to oversee the trades and labour teams in the East Midlands and the North West. My aim is to develop and create an even better culture within the teams I manage which I hope will enable and give them the confidence to grow and develop their skills which in turn will help us provide a better service to our clients and candidates. I also want to continue to be involved in other areas of the business and tuning my own skills and furthering myself.

The first thing I want do as a director is use my knowledge and enthusiasm to engage with more clients and introduce them to Linsco and grow our client base even more.
