Twenty-three years. Three divisions. One integrated offer.
EMBS was founded in 2003 by Simon Bucknell with a clear purpose: to build a talent business that could do more than fill a vacancy. One that understood the sectors it worked in deeply enough to see problems before clients could articulate them, and solve them in ways a generalist never could.
That purpose hasn’t changed. The business has grown.
Today, EMBS Talent Group operates across recruitment, consulting, and training — placing exceptional people, developing existing teams, and helping organisations navigate the workforce transformations that are reshaping Transport, Energy, and Defence.
We recruit. We train. We deploy.
Not as three separate services bolted together. As one integrated offer from a team that understands the full talent lifecycle and the sectors those people work in.
Headquartered in Derby, with offices in London, Manchester, Austin, Seattle, and Dublin, we work with some of the most demanding organisations in Engineering and Technology. They come to us because they need a partner who knows their world, not a supplier who needs it explained.
If you’re a business that needs the right people in the right roles, built for what comes next, you’re in the right place.
If you’re a professional who wants to work with someone who actually understands your field, same.
That’s EMBS.
