About Us
We’re all about people.
You, yours, ours. Connecting. Building relationships. Making the right matches. Finding that missing piece.
And it’s the way we do that – and do it intuitively - that defines us.
Bright, bold, better. That's Yolk.

Dale Williams
CEO
I co-founded Yolk in 2009 and the company has grown exponentially. I’m proud that our vision and leadership has shaped it into a recruitment business that people love to work for, and that clients are always ready to recommend.
My focus is on building the most unique, engaging and high performing recruitment business for our people so that they can in turn offer the most quality driven, creative and bespoke solutions for our clients and candidates.

Duncan Powell
Managing Director
I co-founded Yolk with the aim of building an ambitious and exciting company based on the principles of being bright, bold, and better for our clients, candidates and all our amazing people.
As MD, I drive the company’s profitability and direction. I work closely with our senior management team to make sure that we’re being the best we can be; that we’re delivering the kind of service that reflects the Yolk brand.

Kevin Evans
Finance Director
Having spent 10 years in private practice before acting as Finance Director for an International Medical Supplies and Property Development business, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of South Wales' fastest growing, dynamic businesses.
My expertise is in fast-growth. It’s also my passion; I love to help ambitious businesses develop. It’s what drew me to Yolk.

Nici Jones
Client Services Director
I’ve spent my professional life in sales and recruitment; I have a passion for both.
I’m responsible for nurturing relationships with key clients and ensuring Service Level Agreements are met and expectations exceeded. I work closely with clients to find intelligent solutions to their recruitment needs as well as unearthing and capitalising on new opportunities for large contract wins.

David Jenkins
Business Development Manager
I originally joined Yolk as a consultant specialising in National sales recruitment and worked my way up to managing the Sales Recruitment division.
I now focus on developing new business for Yolk, reaching out to new clients, getting an understanding of their recruitment needs, and ensuring we're working with businesses in South Wales ranging from SME's to blue chip key accounts.
Bright, Bold, Better
We don’t like run-of-the-mill. We’re not fans of ordinary. Yolk is about being bright, being bold, being better.
