From St Asaph to Three Continents: Celebrating Six Years as CBRE Recruitment Supplier of the Year
We’re proud to announce that HVAC Recruitment has been named Recruitment Supplier of the Year by CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) for the sixth consecutive year.
Founded in 2005 by Rob Phillips, HVAC Recruitment has grown from a North Wales specialist recruiter into a global engineering and facilities management talent partner — now supporting contracts across three continents.
Today, our team of 30 operates from St Asaph Business Park, with four new hires joining in the past six months as demand continues to grow across the UK, United States and Asia-Pacific markets.
WHAT THIS AWARD REPRESENTS
CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) is part of global real estate firm CBRE Group, one of the world’s largest property and facilities management businesses.
The annual supplier award recognises sustained excellence across:
Quality of hire
Retention and workforce stability
Compliance standards
Process adherence
Long-term strategic value
For us, this recognition is about consistency — delivering the right engineering and FM talent, at the right time, with long-term performance in mind.
As Rob Phillips explains:
“Sustained performance at this level comes down to consistency, strong client relationships and a deep understanding of operational requirements.”
OPERATING AS A STRATEGIC TALENT PARTNER
Under the leadership of Kieran Bryan, Operations Director and CBRE Account Director, our delivery team works as an extension of CBRE’s hiring strategy.
Rather than transactional recruitment, our approach focuses on:
Cultural fit
Long-term retention
Compliance assurance
Sector-specific expertise
Demand for qualified engineers and facilities professionals remains strong globally, and we continue to invest in our people, systems and processes to meet that need.
GROWTH FROM OUR ST ASAPH HEADQUARTERS
While supporting international contracts, our foundations remain firmly in North Wales.
With continued growth planned into 2026, we are actively expanding our team at St Asaph Business Park. For those interested in building a career within specialist engineering recruitment, it’s an exciting time to join us.
