The Barclay Jones Directors

In 2008 we created Barclay Jones

We are Wayne Barclay and Lisa Jones and have been working together since 2000, where we joined forces in a UK recruitment firm, and grew their IT department into an award-winning strategic solution, beating the likes of HBoS and Royal bank of Scotland.

This totally went to our heads and we moved on to become Directors of other recruitment firms managing IT and Operations.




Wayne Barclay

As a youngster Wayne decided

that Spectrums were too

common. He decided to buy

an Amstrad 64k with tape deck

and colour monitor. He ruled

at Roland on the Ropes and

Harrier Attack.

He was the Archimedes flight

simulator champion during his

school days and upgraded to a

DX2-66 during university days

and a green screen Dell laptop,

on which he wrote his

dissertation.

After University he worked as a

director in the recruitment

sector. He developed a strategic

approach to IT and built a great

working relationship with Lisa.

They won Computing's IT

Department of the Year.

Wayne specialises in recruitment technology,

CRM and website implementation, is a virtual

IT director, and loves business process

mapping and re-engineering. You'll find him

working with growing recruitment firms in

need of a project manager and technology

lead.

Lisa Jones

Lisa owned a Spectrum 48k as

a youngster and loved playing

Jet Set Willy and Chuckie Egg.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon

was a highlight!

She managed to get through

school before computers

became the norm and

upgraded to an Amiga pc

(which booted up from disk) to

write her dissertation whilst at

University.

She became Head of IT

for a recruitment

company, and with

Wayne and won

Computing's IT

Department of the Year -

beating some major

corporations.

Lisa has worked in a number of

Recruitment, IT, Web and Operations

director-level roles. She is a training and

strategy junkie with keen eyes on the

business process. You'll see her

speaking at many recruitment industry

events and being a recruitment

technology and social media evangelist

online.

Jay Corben

Jay’s technology adventures

started with a ZX Spectrum and

a love of Jet-Pac and Hungry

Horace however, with two

brothers and one Spectrum,

her opportunities to reach Mr

Miagi level skills were

somewhat limited!

After university her career

encompassed a variety of roles

and sectors culminating in a

number of years in recruitment

where she first met Lisa and

Wayne.

Jay loves social media and speedy

tech and is allegedly surgically

attached to either her iPad or iPhone

- sometimes both at the same time!

An organiser, list creator, completer and

general all round ‘get it done’ type, she is

the swiss army knife at Barclay Jones. She’s

is a multi-tasking organiser and is

instrumental in the day to day running of the

business.

Matt Hull

Matt’s introduction to

technology consisted of

Kickstart on the

commodore 64 but kicked

into gear when going head

to head against his mates

on Mario Kart for the SNES.

More recently he has

developed an obsession

with Apple products from

the phone up to iMac and

will be joining the queue for

the Apple watch when it’s

released soon.

Working for a CRM provider

for a number of years, Matt

has built up vast experience,

working closely with his

clients to deliver varied

projects across many

different industries.

Joining Barclay Jones as

a project Manager, Matt

will be using his

experience to continue

delivering CRM and web

projects for Barclay

Jones.

Rose Megson

A late adopter of

technology, Rose has

brief memories of playing

on a Sega Master Drive

when all the cool kids had

a Mega Drive. Sonic the

Hedgehog and Alex the

Kidd!!!

IT wasn’t on the top of the

Rose’s agenda during the

school years, although

somehow she attained an A*

for GCSE in IT. Rose much

preferred watching rugby

league than playing on

computers. Although she did

like the odd game of Street

Fighter.

Rose’s tech life started in

schools, working within

an IT department of a

large school, then moving

into tech and training in a

large international

recruitment company as

their IT Training

Consultant.

Rose brings her 12 years of

recruitment and tech

experience to Barclay

Jones and has joined our

training division to help

recruiters become more

effective using CRM and

social media tools. She is

most likely to say “I really

love CRM!”

Mike Jewsbury

As a 6 year old Mike shared a

Spectrum ZX with his sister that

his dad won in a work raffle. The 3

cassette loading process in order

to play "Oh Mummy" was

apparently worth every hour?!

The '90s saw an upgrade to the

Atari ST and Mike blames Golden

Axe for the vast amount of Joy

Sticks he went through. Having

such advanced technology did

make him quite popular at school

for a few months though.

Mike grabbed the opportunity to

be a Recruiter with both hands.

He worked his way from a temp

industrial and commercial

consultant to Regional Account

Manager. Mike's true calling was

L&D and training. In 2006 he

became a business systems

trainer.

Mike is a recruitment technology junkie and

is responsible for training Recruiters to

maximise value from Social Media and CRM.

His experience as a recruiter is invaluable

and he has a nack for turning "techlish" into

insightful content that all recruiters relate to.

Rob Allen

Rob loved playing Lemmings on his

first Acorn computer, and quickly

discovered he loved all things tech.

Dissecting an old TV and getting to

smash up a cathode-ray tube to see

what was inside was a childhood

highlight.

The best strategist at Age of

Empires, launching virtual

rockets into space, learning

how to set up and run

Minecraft servers - the

passion for technology and

gaming which had been

nurtured from an Acorn

(excuse the pun!) grew as a

teenager.

He became a social media whiz kid

whilst at University, getting a feel for

it as a society president and

increasing his skills by volunteering

as a Social Media Marketing Officer

for a Leeds based charity.

He joined Barclay Jones as a Social Media

Community Manager, and will be shaking up our

social media whilst helping to keep us abreast of

all new developments in the recruitment tech

sector.

Born into the gaming

generation, Vikram loved his

PS1. From Spyro to Crash

Bandicoot, Vikram travelled

across the virtual world,

completing missions and

defeating evil villains.

Throughout his teenage

years, his passion for

sport witnessed the start

of his FIFA career. He

never forgot his love for

adventure however,

taking Crash Bandicoot

with him to uni where he

studied History.

At University Vikram

developed his social media

skills. He also developed

his marketing savvy as he

played a key role in

successfully rebranding his

departmental society.

He has joined Barclay

Jones as a Marketing

Executive and works

alongside Rob to

manage our social

streams and deliver

great content to

recruiters and

recruitment leaders.
