Hospitality recruiter RBH Recruitment has appointed Nick Harvey as a director. During 18 years in the catering industry, Harvey worked his way up and across from the kitchen, to the floor, through sales and management, before deciding recruitment was the right place for him.

Harvey told Recruiter the same skills are required both for working in the hospitality sector, as well as recruiting into it. “The same attributes are needed to succeed in both catering and recruitment: the instant rapport and understanding of the customer’s every need and want, building trust through listening and offering knowledgeable advice and service that is above and beyond expectations — consistently producing a quality product.”

He aims to use his position as director to specialise in quality branded restaurants and brand new concepts on a national scale.

Bronwen Lenik, managing director, RBH Recruitment, told Recruiter: “Nick has a fantastic understanding of the industry and has been well known throughout his career for his dedication and success.”
