About Us
RMC Background
During the 1980's, Alex Leftwich worked in a variety of senior operational and HR posts and regularly worked with the major UK recruitment agencies. Unfortunately he often encountered consultants who had little genuine appreciation for the role they were seeking to fill, the search brief, or who knew how to deliver quality customer service.
Alex reimagined the agency model and, in 1987, he founded Retail Management Consultants (RMC). By assembling a team of specialists who knew the world of retail inside-out and who embraced the very latest recruitment techniques, RMC was able to demonstrate a unique affinity for clients' needs.
Being based in Scotland initially presented a challenge as many potential clients preferred the familiarity of nearby agencies. However, by working smarter and more flexibly to consistently deliver results whilst delivering the highest levels of service, RMC quickly changed this mindset.
Over 20 years later, Alex is now CEO of a company with significant international scope; RMC now serves retailers, brands and developers around the globe from the UK and India.
Whilst our recruitment services continue to thrive, we now provide a broader range of business support encompassing strategic insights, connections, and retail consultancy services.
