Derek Skelton

Chief Executive Officer

I joined Meridian in 2017 with a vision of creating One Meridian: a business where people feel valued, supported and proud to be part of something bigger.

Today, Meridian is one of the UK's leading privately owned recruitment specialists, and while we've continued to grow, we've never lost sight of what makes us successful: our people. The relationships we build, both internally and with our clients and candidates, are at the heart of everything we do.

I'm passionate about creating a culture where every individual can make a difference. I believe that when people feel heard, trusted and empowered, they achieve great things. That's why investing in our colleagues, supporting their development and creating opportunities for them to succeed remains a key priority.

We're ambitious about the future and continually look for new ways to improve, innovate and strengthen the services we provide. Every day, we strive to be the best that we can be. Our goal is simple: to deliver exceptional recruitment solutions while remaining true to the values that have shaped Meridian's success.

I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together, and even more excited about what comes next.
