Jon Blaze

I am a Director of Jonathan Lee Recruitment and Jonathan Lee Design Services.

I qualified with a BEng in Manufacturing and Business Studies from Coventry University and began my career in manufacturing engineering and health & safety working with heat transfer and power generation equipment before spending five years in process engineering, quality and engineering management roles in electronics assembly for automotive and industrial controls.

I joined Jonathan Lee in 2002 and enjoyed great success as a consultant within the manufacturing team focusing on production management, maintenance, cost engineering and a diverse range of technical and commercial disciplines. The business supported me in gaining my post graduate diploma and chartered membership of the CIPD and I went on to complete my MA in Human Resource Management before moving into a regional management role.

In 2012, I was appointed to head up all recruitment operations across the UK following which I completed the Certificate in Company Direction with the IoD. Now, having been appointed as a Director my current role is both exciting and strategic; ensuring our teams have the structure, operational framework, skills and tools required to ensure we exceed customer expectations – ultimately driving business success.

I feel that working at Jonathan Lee provides a unique opportunity to apply technical, commercial and leadership skills: “I consider it a privilege to have worked with some of the best-known brands in the world and the very best candidates the market has to offer, in an organisation whose people set the highest standards in the drive to be the customer’s first choice.”
