Paul Branton

About Paul: I moved from industry, where I worked as a Technician, into recruitment back in 1988. Initially I supported the architectural sector, before broadening into Civil Engineering, working for the Institution of Civil Engineers, covering roles in the UK and Overseas. I moved into the automotive sector in 1999, covering OEMs, Tier 1 to Tier 3s and the motorsport Industry. I joined the Basildon office of Jonathan Lee in 2005, taking on the responsibility for the Essex Office in 2015. I’m an Affiliate Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and a Committee member of the Automobile Division Essex Centre and South Essex Area, both of which run numerous CPD events and encourage people into engineering.

Away from work: I’m a keen SUP Boarder, so if the weather is good and the sea is calm, that’s where I’ll be. Luckily our office is right next to the Thames. I have a picture of my sister and I standing in James Hunt’s Race Suit, it was made by my Mum.
