about us

Welcome to Fortress — where recruitment is built on trust, insight, and a deep understanding of your needs.

About fortress

Fortress was built with a clear purpose - to stand out in a crowded market, offering a personalised, dedicated approach alongside a thorough understanding of your business, the team and its needs.

With over 15 years’ of experience, we’ve seen first-hand what works - and what doesn’t - when it comes to connecting great people with the right opportunities. Fortress offers you a recruitment partner who genuinely understands the technical landscape, values long-term relationships, and delivers with honesty and full accountability.

As a small business, we offer a hands-on approach; no templates, no cut-and-paste solutions - just tailored support, expert insight, and a commitment to doing what we say we will. Whether you're hiring or job hunting, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.

About becki

15 years prior experience within permanent and contract recruitment, across large, small and start-up businesses certainly gives you an excellent grounding for training and career development but also helps you realise what you would do differently if you had the chance. 

I set up Fortress to create a bespoke offering suited to my style; honest, passionate and with a focused approach. I continue to pride myself on my ability to build strong working relationships with both clients and candidates, and to truly understand their needs and challenges. It's this personal, consultative approach that sets us apart - delivering not just placements, but lasting relationships built on trust and results. Outside of work, I’m family-oriented and enjoy spending time with my husband, son and dogs, Polly and Percy. A food enthusiast and qualified PT, I balance family life with fitness, often in the gym or running around the South Coast!

  • Consistently Going Above and Beyond

    “Becki supported me through an extensive recruitment campaign, consistently going above and beyond to ensure she remained aligned with our needs and delivered credible, well-matched candidates. Her dedication, optimism, and genuine commitment to effective recruitment were instrumental in our success—and the reason I’ve continued to work with her.”

  • Great communication and support

    “I have worked with Becki as a client for the last 2 years and have received nothing but professionalism in her role, great communication and support. I would welcome the pleasure to work with you again in the future”

  • Extremely knowledgeable on my industry's requirements

    “I have worked in the Aerospace and Defence sector for many years, which has involved liaising with many recruitment agencies both to recruit people and as a contractor. I have had the pleasure of working with Becki as an agent for recruitment and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable on my industry's requirements. She has been very proactive with identifying and communicating new candidates to me when required to do so. To summarise, Becki is very professional, conscientious and communicative. I have no hesitation in recommending Becki as an example of how recruitment agencies should operate.
