Paul Clayton

Business Manager - Compliance & RiskSpecialising in Compliance, Risk Management

Studying Politics and Sociology degree at university left me with a big decision - what did I want to do now? Since I had no interest in getting into politics or becoming a sociologist, I decided to embark on a career in recruitment after realising that the one thing I am truly passionate about is building relationships. There is nothing I loves more than developing relationships with clients, taking a job brief and then heading into the market to speak with potential candidates.

Away from work, I'm kept busy by my wife and young children.

Why MERJE?

I started my recruitment journey with MERJE as a researcher and have been given limitless support throughout my time. Through great guidance and having the freedom to establish myself in my market, I have developed brilliant knowledge of my specialist area and achieved great progression over the years. The founders have created a balanced work environment of getting the job done and feeling valued and rewarded for good work. I honestly love coming into the office every day.

Loves & Loathes

I love hitting the gym to keep the ‘dad bod’ away, playing football (when my Plantar fasciitis allows it), and supporting Manchester United.

I loathe having to decide what clothes to buy (I'm very indecisive) and any form of cooking.
