When Chris joined Maxwell Bond in November 2025, he wasn't just joining an established team—he was helping build one.

Having already spent eight years in recruitment, Chris brought a wealth of experience, market knowledge, and leadership capability. But what attracted him to Maxwell Bond was the opportunity to help establish and grow the UK Go-To-Market (GTM) division, creating something from the ground up and shaping its future.

Less than a year later, that vision is already becoming a reality.

 

Building a Team from Scratch

In January 2026, the UK GTM team officially launched.

What started as a new initiative has quickly grown into a successful team of three consultants, with plans to continue expanding as demand from clients increases.

Building a team is about far more than hiring people. It's about creating a culture, developing processes, sharing knowledge, and helping individuals reach their potential.

One of the achievements Chris is most proud of has been seeing the growth of the people around him.

In the short time since the team was established, one consultant has already earned a promotion, while another has progressed from being completely new to recruitment to consistently winning and managing their own 360 clients.

For Chris, these successes are just as important as his own.

 

Continuing to Raise the Bar

Despite having eight years of recruitment experience before joining Maxwell Bond, Chris has continued to hit new personal milestones since arriving.

In fact, within months of joining the business, he broke his own record fee and secured the largest placement of his career.

For someone with nearly a decade of experience in recruitment, that's no small achievement.

Chris credits much of that success to the environment at Maxwell Bond.

While many businesses talk about onboarding, training, and development, Maxwell Bond's commitment to investing in its people is something he has experienced first-hand.

The combination of collaborative colleagues, strong leadership, and a culture of continuous improvement has allowed him to continue growing professionally, despite already being an experienced recruiter when he joined.

 

Specialising in Sales Leadership

Today, Chris focuses on partnering with businesses across the UK and Europe to secure senior Go-To-Market talent.

His specialist area is Sales Leadership recruitment, helping organisations hire the leaders who can build teams, drive revenue growth, and execute ambitious growth strategies.

Whether supporting high-growth scale-ups or established organisations looking to strengthen their commercial function, Chris works closely with clients to understand their objectives and deliver leadership talent capable of making a real impact.

It's a market that is constantly evolving and one that requires deep industry knowledge, strong networks, and a consultative approach.

 

Why Maxwell Bond?

For Chris, one of the most rewarding aspects of his journey so far has been the opportunity to combine personal success with team success.

Building a new division, helping consultants develop their careers, and continuing to break personal records has reinforced what attracted him to Maxwell Bond in the first place: the opportunity to grow.

The business provides people with the support, autonomy, and resources they need to succeed, whether they're entering recruitment for the first time or bringing years of experience to the table.

 

Looking Ahead

The UK GTM team is still in the early stages of its journey, but the momentum is already clear.

With a growing client base, strong team culture, and plans to continue expanding, Chris is focused on helping the division reach its next phase of growth while continuing to support businesses across the UK and Europe with critical Sales Leadership hires.

And with the team already looking to add a fourth consultant, there has never been a more exciting time to join.
