Rooted in the North East: How Zenith Is Investing in People and Skills

From skilled trades to management, from apprenticeships to bespoke training, We Are Zenith has spent years quietly doing things the right way across the North-East. Now we want more businesses to know what is possible.

There are recruitment businesses that fill vacancies. And then there are partners who genuinely understand your sector, your people, and what good looks like for your organisation. We Are Zenith has spent years building the second kind of relationship with businesses across the North-East, and the results speak for themselves.

With an established talent pool spanning the full range of labour, trades, technical, and management roles across the built environment, facilities management, and property services sectors, we are ready to support businesses who need the right people, quickly, reliably, and without the usual recruitment noise.

Meet Faye Turner, The Recruiter Who Gets It Done

At the heart of We Are Zenith's North-East recruitment success is Faye Turner, Senior Recruitment Consultant. Faye is not your typical recruiter. She does not send speculative CVs and wait for a response. She invests time in understanding a business from the inside out, its culture, its pressures, and crucially, the kind of person who will actually thrive there.

Faye has built partnerships with clients that have lasted years, not months. She is known personally by the operational managers and directors she works with. That familiarity means conversations happen faster, briefs are sharper, and the right candidates reach the right roles without the usual back-and-forth that slows everything down.

She will be honest with you when a job description needs improving. She will tell you when a salary range is going to limit the field. And she will never overpromise on timelines just to keep you happy. That directness, combined with consistent delivery, is what has made her one of the most trusted recruiters in this space across the North East.

“Faye went above and beyond. She kept in touch with me every step of the way, not once did I think I didn’t know what was happening. I cannot speak any more highly of her. Easy. Quick. Amazing.” - Candidate placed by Faye Turner, We Are Zenith

The Roles We Place, Across the Full Range

One of the things that makes Faye and the We Are Zenith team genuinely useful to North-East employers is range. We are not a niche supplier limited to one discipline. Our talent pool spans the full breadth of what the built environment and property services sector needs, including:

·       General Labour, reliable, vetted, ready to mobilise

·       Trades, Joiners, Electricians, Gas Engineers, Renewable Energy Specialists

·       Site Management, experienced Site Managers who understand how to run a job properly

·       Technical Roles, Surveyors and Technical Managers with the sector knowledge to add real value

·       Permanent and Temporary, we cover both, whether you need someone today or you are planning ahead

If you have a labour requirement, whether it is a single placement or an ongoing workforce need, Faye and the team want to hear from you.

Our Footprint in the North-East

We Are Zenith’s presence in the North- East is not new, and it is not superficial. Over many years we have developed a network of skilled workers, tradespeople, and professionals across the region, people we know, whose skills we understand, and who we can mobilise at pace when a client needs them.

Our track record in the region includes long-term exclusive recruitment partnerships with established businesses, bespoke training programmes designed and delivered for North East teams, apprenticeship and functional skills support helping local people achieve qualifications that advance their careers, and a talent pool actively maintained across labour, trades, technical, and management disciplines.

The relationships we have built here, with businesses, with candidates, with learners, are long-term and personal. That is a deliberate choice, not a happy coincidence. We believe the North East deserves a workforce partner that treats it with the same seriousness as any major city, and that is exactly what we intend to be.

More Than Recruitment

We Are Zenith is not only a recruitment business. For North East employers, we also offer bespoke communication and confidence training, apprenticeship programme management, and functional skills qualifications support, all designed around the specific needs of your team, never off the shelf.

Businesses we have worked with in the region have seen measurable changes in how their people communicate, how confident they are in client-facing and senior settings, and how effectively they perform on site and in the office. If workforce development is on your agenda, whether that means filling roles, growing your team’s capability, or supporting your people through qualifications, we would welcome a conversation.

Get in Touch with Faye

Whether you have an immediate vacancy to fill, a project requiring labour, or you simply want to understand what talent is available to you in the North East right now, Faye would love to hear from you. 

We have the people. We know the market. And we will always be straight with you about what is possible.
