Meet The Team

Joe Phillips

Divisional Manager – Asset Management, Property Services & Compliance

Joe is considered part of MMP’s furniture after joining 16 months after the company was formed. Joe has been instrumental in helping it grow into a unique business supporting the Public Sector. During this time, his foundations and fundamentals of the recruitment process have always been a true understanding of expectation, in-depth knowledge of the realities of the Public Sector and an honest approach to both positive and negative outcomes for candidates and clients alike.

 

This experience, developed with the guidance of Alastair since 2015 has given him a well-rounded approach to this sector, recognising the individuals and people are what is most important whilst being equipped with the tools and knowledge to overcome market and business challenges faced in the Public Sector. This approach stemmed from early recruitment experience between 2011 and 2013, at a ‘High Street’ agency where you were face to face with candidates daily, creating an environment where you needed to be upfront and competent. 2013 to 2015 was spent in a corporate environment, getting a better understanding of Social Housing and the wider business functions of a large organisation.

 

Joe’s motivation stems from his two children and creating a life for them. Typically, London raised West Ham United fan for his sins, Sunday league veteran and a below average fair weather golfer.
