Credentials

Lester Bird has extensive experience of headhunting high caliber individuals into the Betting & Gaming Industry dating back to 1995. His consistent track record of success is supported by repeat business and references from Senior Management figureheads. His passion for selling our industry's opportunities has attracted top level talent not only within but from outside of the Betting & Gaming market place. Lester Bird only takes on assignments which are Betting & Gaming related and has the advantage of being a first mover in the United Kingdom by a number of years in this respect.

He started his career as a Trainee Planning Engineer at Wimpey Engineering in 1984. After graduating with a 2:1 Honors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Westminster he joined John Brown Engineering where he began a four year Monitored Professional Development Engineering Scheme.

After a mass round of redundancies and recession within the Petro-Chemical Industry at the back end of 1993 he took a year out and returned to work with a nationwide Technical Recruitment Agency. Becoming frustrated with the limitations of traditional advertising recruitment he started his own business in mid 1995 pursuing Head-hunting as opposed to recruiting through advertising methods.

He is now a dedicated networker / Head-hunter and works exclusively within the Betting & Gaming Industry with his first industry related assignment dating back to late 1995 for a Big 3 Bookmaker which he serviced as the preferred supplier for eleven years until a change of ownership and its subsequent board management.

Lester Bird was born in London - United Kingdom in 1966 and is married with one child.
