Patrick Baker

Patrick has over 16 years recruitment experience across the Engineering, Architecture, Design, Dairy, Food process, and Rail sectors. He is experienced in Permanent, Contract and Temp recruitment.

He is proud to have recently achieved Fellowship of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals (FIRP), UK.

Patrick was born in New Zealand to British parents and has lots of family in the UK and so recently achieved a long-held desire to live and work in the UK. He now heads up our South West UK recruitment office, in Yeovil Somerset.

He is a specialist in recruiting roles for the Engineering, Architecture, Design sectors, and particularly in Dairy and Food process industries which he has personally worked in. He looks forward to delivering our recruitment expertise across the South West UK.

Patrick feels that his combined work and life experience assists him in understanding what attributes our clients are seeking in an employee, and also those that our candidates are looking for in a new employer. He really does enjoy being a facilitator of very happy recruitment outcomes for candidates and clients.

He is one of the longest standing employees of RobLawMax Recruitment, having been based in our Wellington, New Zealand office for 14 years. Here he worked with clients all over, and with local and International candidates for roles throughout, ranging across engineering, manufacturing, industrial, dairy/food process, and architecture and interior design, as well as Rail, to mention a few.

Earlier career positions have been mostly been in technical type environments including operational roles in the Civil Aviation (Air Traffic) sector, Sales and Service roles in Branch and Operations Management, and in Business Development, and Sales Representative roles. Latter roles also involved recruiting staff as a matter of course, this he enjoyed a lot so it’s not a surprise he become a Recruiter.

Outside of work Patrick enjoys time with his partner, his family and socialising with friends. He likes to pursue his passion for Aviation by attending Air Shows and Aviation Museums, enjoys motorcycling, weekend road trips, visiting family in France, Motorsport, the Arts, food and wine, and really enjoys the variety of local South West food, beverages and produce – and the odd Cider and Cornish Pasty...
