Consultant Profile:
Hi, I’m Peter Manion. I help automotive businesses find the skilled people they need across technical, operational and management roles.
Automotive recruitment can be challenging. The right person needs more than relevant experience on paper; they must also suit the working environment, pace and expectations of the business.
My approach is straightforward: I take the time to understand each vacancy, communicate openly with clients and candidates, and only introduce people whose experience and circumstances genuinely match the role.
Whether you need to recruit one specialist or strengthen a wider team, I’m here to make the process clearer and more manageable.
We can help with Automotive Recruitment. Finding skilled people for technical, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, administrative, sales and aftersales roles.

Automotive Recruitment Specialists – Keeping the Industry Moving
The automotive industry depends on skilled people at every stage, from designing and building vehicles to maintaining, repairing, transporting and supporting them throughout their working life.
Dealerships, independent workshops, bodyshops, manufacturers, commercial vehicle operators and automotive logistics businesses all have different recruitment needs. Finding people with the right experience is important, but so is finding candidates who fit the pace, standards and working environment of the business.

-
Clear and honest communication
You will receive straightforward advice, regular updates and honest feedback throughout the recruitment process. If the market is proving difficult or something needs to change, we will tell you.
