“WE HAVE A STRONG COMMERCIAL MINDSET.”

Richard Stark is a Commercial Director at AAB People. Based in our Glasgow office his role is focused on driving growth across AAB People. Developing new routes to market and ensuring we provide high-quality service to meet the needs of our clients. For Richard, ensuring he and the team are delivering an exceptional service is at the heart of everything he does.

UNIQUE APPROACH FOR UNIQUE BUSINESSES

“We want clients to think of us as more than just outsourced HR and people solutions. We want to be another important member of their team. Our clients’ goals and objectives are our own. That’s why we work collaboratively with clients each step of the way to deliver.

All of our clients’ businesses are as unique as the people within them. That means their problems are also unique and the way we solve those problems must follow suit. For me, it’s so exciting to be able to help and support such a varied portfolio of clients. Delivering bespoke solutions that better their business and their people. There’s nothing better than really getting to know the people we’re working with and exceeding their expectations”.

SUPPORTING GREAT PEOPLE

“I believe the most satisfying aspect of working with clients is seeing the positive impact we’ve had. When a policy works and our clients’ people are able to reap the benefits, or when we deliver Health & Safety training and are able to give them peace of mind, there’s nothing better. Helping great people do great things will never not be a reward.”

LIVING OUR ETHOS OF POSITIVITY & FUN

“Rumour has it, I’m a ball of energy! Or so my colleagues and clients tell me. We’ve created an amazing culture here at AAB People. We get to work with fantastic clients, supporting them on their journey and having fun while we create a great culture for their people too. I’m passionate about achieving positive outcomes and being in an environment that promotes positivity and enthusiasm to do so. AAB People has that in spades!”

A REAL WANT TO ACHIEVE

“My goal is to help clients achieve their goals. I’m not afraid to assert myself or challenge the status quo. I’ll only do this when I truly believe that will lead to a better outcome to solve a problem, to identifying a problem that might cause further issues down the line, or to a valuable discussion.

The greatest strength I bring to AAB People is my drive to achieve. Going above and beyond for my clients has always and will continue to be a priority of mine. My drive to achieve enables me to best utilise my commercial mindset to help clients make bold decisions and maximise opportunities.”

DELIVERING FOR OUR PEOPLE

“What excites me most about the future is the opportunity available. AAB Group is on an ambitious growth journey that is really exciting. In turn, at AAB People we’re seeing some rapid growth too. We have an opportunity to create a high quality leading service that delivers for our clients each and every time. I’m excited not only to see where that journey takes us but also to have a part in steering AAB People in the right commercial direction. People are the most important asset of our clients businesses and this is true for us as well. I can’t wait to create exciting unparalleled opportunity for our people too.”
