Before joining Alchemy, Lewis enjoyed five highly successful years as a Director in the UK construction sector. 

“One thing I learnt was the importance of recruitment to business success. Hiring key personnel and building a leadership team are vital. They made me realise there’s no better feeling than employing good people, and seeing them add value. I’ve seen this first-hand in an industry, so appreciate the worth a good recruiter brings. 

“Alchemy appeals because it truly is special. It’s a team with genuine credibility, real experts and great cultural fit. 

“I believe Alchemy really is disrupting the Dubai market, by focusing on creating a community, rather than just being a transactional recruiter.”

Approach to recruitment: "It's about partnership and relationships, feedback, keeping people informed, and understanding what they bring and what they want."

Dubai highlights: "I’m a keen marathon runner, so love how sport and staying fit are part of the culture here. Besides, it’s just a great place: positive vibes, amazing food – and a forward-thinking outlook and approach."
