Sigma Recruitment was founded by Rhys Williams in 2005 after a career that included working within several national and local recruitment agencies in Cardiff. The decision to specialise in the manufacturing sector was a result of experience gained prior to working in the recruitment industry when Rhys worked for Robert Bosch. This experience enabled Sigma Recruitment to establish and provide a very bespoke service to the manufacturing sector which was not provided by other regional recruitment companies at the time.
Since 2005 the business under Rhys’ leadership has seen significant developments and fast growth and now provides specialist recruitment support to a variety of manufacturing sectors. Rhys’ enthusiasm for the manufacturing sector has seen the company introduce a range of innovative services and also seen Sigma Recruitment raise their profile within the recruitment industry in South Wales. The company in 2012 became members of the Welsh Automotive Forum evidence of both Rhys and the company’s interest in maintaining close relationships with the specialist sectors it represents.
Rhys manages the overall operation of Sigma Recruitment including both directing the corporate strategy and long term and short term goals, working hands on with clients, passing on his knowledge of the sector by training new Sigma Recruitment consultants and mentoring and supporting existing members of staff.
Following a career in the finance sector, Debbie Williams joined Sigma Recruitment in 2006.
Debbie joined Sigma Recruitment during a period of rapid growth. Her immediate focus was to establish a firm foundation in respect of back office support required by the company to ensure that the significant rise in clients were serviced, in particular to manage essential services including both the administrative and finance functions.
In addition to managing the day to day administrative support operation of the company, she also manages the essential candidate management function, ensuring that prospective job candidates have every support they require to find a suitable appointment.
With regard to the financial management of the company, Debbie works closely with all third party suppliers to optimise the company’s financial strength and resilience.
Sigma Recruitment has provided recruitment services to a diverse range of manufacturing companies across Cardiff and the surrounding areas.
The capital city is the driver of the Welsh economy being a significant centre of business that also acts a catalyst for business across South East Wales and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Cardiff has in the past been an important world centre for coal and steel and in the 19th century was the world’s leading port for coal exportation and steel production.The decline of the port of Cardiff commenced in the 1890’s as a result of falling demand for coal. By the 1980’s large areas of Cardiff docks were derelict, and a regeneration project transformed Cardiff’s waterfront into a “must see” destination.
Cardiff has continually reinvented itself and it now has approximately 100 bioscience related companies and organisations and with the help of Cardiff University which has a growing international reputation for research expertise in bioscience related disciplines.
The manufacturing sector in Cardiff is diverse ranging from life sciences, automotive, steel production, to medical devices, consumer electronics, pharmaceutical and food manufacturing. In addition companies such as GE Healthcare, Celsa Steel UK, Bio Trace and Cogent, help to create a vibrant sector as a result of the impact of Cardiff University with its 2,500 local students and 500 doctorates in bioscience related disciplines.

The City and County of Swansea is the regional centre for business and industry in South West Wales including the towns of Neath, Llanelli, Port Talbot, and the Swansea Valley. Swansea was very much considered an industrial centre in past centuries including a huge metallurgical and tinplate industry but after World War 2 these industries went into decline.
The Technium concept of incubator space for high technology firms was launched at SA1 on the waterfront with further facilities being built here and on the Swansea University campus. The Welsh Assembly and leading worldwide company IBM are also behind a new Institute of Life Sciences based at Swansea University.
