Delivering exceptional service and compliant workforce solutions across the globe

The story of CCL

Established in 1981, our family-owned and privately run business continues to provide exceptional talent and workforce solutions across the energy, construction, manufacturing, and automotive tech landscape. 

Our Founder, Peter Maltby, believed in doing things the right way and throughout the years, we’ve grown organically, successfully expanding into new markets and territories. We intentionally set up our international offices locally and partner with local entities in the regions we’ve settled in, allowing us to provide hands-on, regional knowledge and support and add value to our clients, consultants, and the candidates we work with. 

The key principles of Quality, Integrity, and Community, which we started with five decades ago, can still be recognised across our personalized services and the long-term relationships we build with our network. 

Although Peter sadly passed away in December 2021, his son Chris, Managing Director (along with his senior management) continues to carry the business forward. Together, they focus on building on our heritage and securing CCL as an integral part of the past, present, and future of those we serve.

Industries we operate in:

Energy

Construction

Manufacturing

Automotive Tech

How we do it

We place our valued clients and incredible candidates at the center of everything we do, always striving to deliver exceptional and dependable service to everyone we work with. We believe that this is the key to our long-lasting relationships in the industry.
