Outside of work, Chris's main passion is sailing, but he is also a big F1 fan and fast becoming a Leicester Tigers fan. He’s given up on ever trying to enjoy or learn to play golf…
Chris joined the business in 2011 as part of the Macildowie Training Programme and progressed through our Part-Qualified, Qualified and Senior Financial Recruitment desks. As part of a business growth strategy he recruited for Blue Chip clients in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, quickly growing and developing his desk.
After a successful period of growth in those markets, Chris established our Milton Keynes division, before returning to Leicester to run the Financial recruitment team. Following his success in those roles, Chris became Regional Managing Director for the North East Midlands and South Yorkshire.
He also specialises in Senior Executive Finance Recruitment across the wider East Midlands.
Chris' Client Testimonials
ALEX HILL

"Chris Huffen was excellent. He listened understood what I was looking for but challenges me in the right way about what my next step needed to be. Really appreciated all his support."
SHETUL MASHRU
Group Marketing Accountant / Analyst (Manager) at Travis Perkins / Wickes
“I thoroughly recommend Chris for your recruitment needs, because he makes the recruitment process more structured and simplified than others, thereby ensuring a smooth journey from candidate registration to employment offer(s).
His competency and professionalism is the reason as to why I have already recommended Chris to my colleagues and friends looking to progress in their career.”
VICCI TAYLOR
Recruiter (Credit Risk, Finance and Marketing) at Barclaycard
“I have worked with Chris since joining Barclaycard in November 2011. Chris' understanding of Barclaycards requirements and culture is second to none and has provided some outstanding candidates. He always has Barclaycards best interest at heart and can see that his view is quality rather than quantity. I look forward to working with Chris in the future and would highly recommend Chris as an exceptional recruiter.”

Outside of work, Darius enjoys keeping active, developing property, learning about financial markets and learning about mindset and motivation.
- Testimonials (Consultant) :
- Quote:
Darius helped us do this by delivering a free 90 minute workshop that was focused on helping us to optimise our Employer Brand.
It helped us define our 'purpose,' and create more of an awareness as to why someone would want to work for our business. We were also given some great insight into how to enhance the interview experience and which levers to pull on LinkedIn to leverage the brand., Quote Reference:
Jessica Davies, Internal Communications and Engagement Partner at Joules
- Quote:
Darius was highly recommended to me by a colleague when I was seeking my first HR job post-graduation and I can absolutely see why. He took the time to genuinely understand my level of skill and experience and subsequently put me forward for several relevant roles with a range of well-known organisations. He has been friendly and professional throughout my job search. I particularly appreciated his efforts to ensure I was making the decisions that felt right for me in relation to potential roles. I would wholeheartedly recommend Darius to anyone looking for an HR role in the Milton Keynes/Northampton area., Quote Reference:
Ruth Harley, HR Graduate at Whitbread
- Quote:
I've worked with Darius on several HR requirements we've had as a business and would recommend him highly as a recruitment consultant. Darius has proved himself to be a true professional and sees the value in building up long term relationships with his clients in order that he is regarded as a partner to them. Darius has built his strong relationship up with the Norbert Dentressangle recruitment team through his demonstration of integrity and desire to understand our business, which in turn leads him to submitting only the most qualified candidates., Quote Reference:
Katie Shaw, Internal Recruiter at Careers@Hudson
Darius joined Macildowie in 2010. Having built an enviable reputation as an HR recruiter of choice across Northamptonshire, and leading our HR and Sales and Marketing Divisions, Darius was appointed as Regional Managing Director for the South East Midlands. He also specialises in Senior Executive HR Recruitment across the East Midlands.
Darius has pioneered various networking and Thought Leadership events for our customers and believes that working in a true partnership based on transparency and trust is the key to a long term sustainable relationship.

I’m a recruitment outsourcing expert.
Having worked for three of the country’s most successful recruitment outsourcing firms, in different guises and across vastly different accounts – from Operations Manager of the largest MSP in Europe, to the lone running of an SME-sized RPO – I’ve experienced a lot in my nearly 10 years in recruitment.
I believe the future for permanent recruitment for every company SME-sized and above, should be a partnership focused RPO. Most businesses state that their people are their biggest asset, and an RPO is the best recruitment method to protect those assets when they’re in the process of entering your business. In tandem with Macildowie’s Retention Service, our RPO is also the best way to help protect those assets when they’re already in your business too.
I believe all RPOs should focus on three key things for their clients: cost, time and talent.
In a post-Covid-19 society, these things will matter even more - with budgets being tighter, smaller teams doing more, and the importance of “the best, not the first” candidate being paramount - and therefore the benefit of an RPO relationship to businesses will be even greater.
Macildowie’s Managed MRS has those three elements at its heart, but it can go further than that, and in what we believe, a unique way.
Macildowie’s MRS is small and flexible and as such its service can genuinely be tailored to exactly what your business needs from a recruitment function (something that larger outsourcers with significant overheads are unable to do). We’re also able to offer two exceptional value-adding services which – from what I understand no other competitor is currently doing – in our Retention Services and People Hub facility. All of which is underpinned by years of quality Macildowie service.
My aim is for Macildowie MRS to be a trusted and valued partner for our clients, delivering on the three key objectives of cost, time and talent – and doing it in a unique way that we can be proud of.

Outside of the workplace Simon enjoys playing rugby and keeping fit; although his ageing bones means he spends more time injured than playing! Other than that his young family of four children keeps him on his toes!
Simon joined Macildowie in February 2022 after 19 years with a blue-chip recruiter as the Associate Director for the Public Sector business.
Simon leads the team that specialises in the provision of consultancy services across their core disciplines of Finance, Procurement & Commissioning, Project & Programme Management, HR and Marketing.
He personally recruits permanent roles within Local Government whilst continuing to build their brand across the UK with the aim to make the Macildowie name synonymous with a consistently, high-quality delivery of services within Local and Central Government, NHS, Education, Charities and Housing.
