Sam is a Recruitment Consultant at Trade Assist in Christchurch, where he focuses on the logistics, manufacturing and warehousing sectors. With experience that spans both hands-on trades and large-scale supply operations, he brings a practical and well-rounded perspective to recruitment.

Before joining Trade Assist, Sam spent seven years with one of New Zealand’s major grocery chains, working closely with suppliers and supermarkets across the South Island. That experience gave him a clear view of the challenges in manufacturing and staffing, as well as the value of strong, reliable relationships. Earlier in his career, he worked as an apprentice plumber, adding another layer of practical know-how that helps him connect with clients and candidates alike. Ready for a new challenge and the opportunity to work more closely with people, Sam made the move to Trade Assist to take his career in a new direction.

When it comes to staffing solutions, Sam believes success is defined when clients and candidates see him as their first point of call. Down-to-earth and genuine in his style, Sam focuses on strengthening existing partnerships, reviving old connections and delivering outcomes that make a difference. He’s at his best in busy, fast-paced environments and doesn’t hesitate to get stuck in when it’s needed.
