Meet the Team
Hello and Welcome to Back to Work Ltd.
My name is James Maguire, founder and Managing Director of Back to Work Ltd.
Graduating from UC in 1986 with a Psychology Degree, I began working in the local employment industry, spending time in executive recruitment, government and private employment agencies before establishing Back to Work Ltd in 1999.
We have developed a successful specialist business, contracting to central and local government, working alongside both job seekers and employers, assisting them to find the right employees for their businesses.
Here is our team.
