Dean Carthy

Dean grew up in Preston and had a passion for engineering from an early age. After leaving school, he trained as a sheet metal worker and joined Bill House Sheet Metal. In 1994 at the age of 18 Dean changed careers, joining Capital Recruitment.

Drawing on his engineering background he quickly slotted into his role, placing skilled workers at engineering and manufacturing companies. Dean progressed rapidly and in 1999 was promoted to branch manager. Following a corporate buyout of Capital Recruitment, Deans’ skills were recognised and he was given the task of overseeing the Preston and Manchester office. A branch in Blackburn soon followed and Dean was promoted to area manager.

In 2003, Dean founded Fastlane Personnel, specialising in construction, engineering, and mechanical/electrical recruitment, quickly growing the business to a turnover of £2 million. However, the financial crisis in 2009 led to its closure.

With his impressive track record, Dean joined Employment Solutions, where he’s been ever since. He brings his wealth of experience and passion for recruitment to provide a professional service in a non-corporate environment.
