We partner with OEMs, contractors, service providers and technology vendors, delivering mid-to-senior talent teams.

We support the people, businesses and technologies powering modern mining and industrial markets.

The mining industry is facing increasing pressure to improve productivity, reduce environmental impact, and adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. We partner with mining OEMs and technology companies across the entire mining lifecycle, from exploration through to closure. We are passionate about innovation, sustainability, and the critical role mining plays in the green transition. We support the industry by delivering highly skilled talent to implement new technologies and modernise legacy assets.

Cement & Aggregates

Cement and aggregates are fundamental to global construction, yet the industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Decarbonisation, alternative fuels, and circular materials are reshaping both leadership priorities and critical skillsets. GRTS partners with OEMs and technology companies at the forefront of this change, delivering the skilled talent needed to support quarries, cement plants, and large-scale construction operations globally.

I enjoyed working with Ben during my career change. He was professional, clear, and kept in touch throughout the process. Thanks to his support, we got great results, and I’m happy to recommend him. It was a pleasure working with him.

Civil & Infrastructure

Civil & Infrastructure is where ambition meets execution, often involving billion-pound programmes that move from concept through to commissioning. These projects operate within complex stakeholder environments, span multiple years and geographies, and must be delivered against timelines that leave no room for missteps. We partner with the companies supplying the equipment and technology that make these projects possible. Whether it’s OEMs delivering critical machinery or technology providers enabling efficiency and control, we provide the skilled talent needed to keep projects on track and delivered on time.

Ben did a great job. We had to fill two MD positions in different countries, which has been really successful as Ben has been on it during the complete process and had perfectly understood the requirements of the job profile as well as our culture. It was fantastic to work together with Ben, what we will definitely repeat at next opportunity.

Industrial Products

We partner with Industrial Products businesses who supply heavy industry, driving the future through innovation, engineering, and smarter work. Whether growing sales, production, or product development, we deliver the talent that Industrial Products companies need to exceed their business goals.

"Ben has supported me with recruiting assignments over the years and has delivered on every single one of them. He is so professional and easy to work with whilst at the same time striving for high quality delivery on assignments. I particularly like how he adds specific competence to the industry knowledge of these assignments and what he doesn't know, he gets up to speed with at an impressive rate."
