Who we are

TAMALO Solutions Ltd, is run by a specialist recruiter of 14+ years, Owen (that’s me).

By day, I'm running with all engine cylinders firing as the Director of a Specialist Search and Selection company....by night, I default to a tabletop gaming, boulder climbing, miniature model painting, retro console playing, book-worm.

When I'm not super busy helping the people of the HVACR, BMS, Industrial & Process Cooling worlds upgrade their lives & companies, I’m generally saving my 3 young children from boredom. When the chaos gets too much, I have my 2 ‘festively plump’ cats offering mental support (Thor and Baloo).

When I ‘occassionally’ get some time to myself, I love to immerse myself in science fiction/ fantasy novels, particularly Steven Erikson, David Gemmell, Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie, and Terry Pratchett to name a few. For when I’m feeling too lazy to turn pages, I revert to audiobooks, and regularly watch Anime/ Manga when I need to unwind.

I’m a regular at the gym (six days a week), first thing in the morning, and have been for about 25+ years now, to keep what my children believe to be my ‘superpowers’ in tip-top shape (and to keep me sane in this crazy world).

The countryside is where I’m often at my happiest, so whatever the weather, getting plenty of hiking in, is a big part of my life.

Basically, I'm an uber geek who also loves to stay active....and that's the way I like it.

After I had taken the big decision to change jobs after being with **** for 10 years, Owen took the time and trouble to understand my requirements and to reassure me during the process. He not only found me the ideal job but also acted as a sounding board for my thoughts both before and after interviews. I would highly recommend Owen if you are an HVAC professional and looking for a change.
Owen is one of the best recruitment agents I have had the pleasure to work with. Honest and straightforward approach makes the process a lot less stressful. I would definitely use Owen again and hope to in the near future.
Owen is professional and personable. He has great industry knowledge and uses this to provide as much information as possible to help prepare for interviews at all stages. Owen is very dedicated and even took his phone on holiday with him during my final interview!
I have dealt with Owen as a result of seeking new employment; during what was a very efficient and speedy process Owen was always very professional, supportive and critically a great communicator ensuring I was up to date and informed through the whole process. I can say without hesitation that I would recommend Owen as a great professional and that my experience with him was first class. Thank you Owen.
I cannot praise Owen enough for finding me employment within my specialised field and also for playing an integral part in negotiating my salary. He knew exactly what position I was looking for and matched me to it within several weeks. Owen comes highly recommended by me.
Owen, just like to thank you for sourcing my new managerial role at ****. You have made the transition very easy and you have communicated excellently every step of the way, answering all my questions before I accepted the role. My induction with the company was well organised and everyone has made me feel welcome. So I would just like to say thank you for your hard work and it has been made a pleasurable experience.
