4mat Recruitment websites Development Team Manager.

Gareth Jenkins, Development Team Manager.

Gareth left the rural hills of Mid Wales in 1997 to hit the big city, taking a degree in Information Systems at Brunel University, on the outskirts of London.  While there he founded the University’s first IT Degree Show, now in its 7th successful year.  He also undertook a placement year working at EDS's Rolls Royce division in Derby.

After graduating in 2001, Gareth accepted a job at a Brighton based provider of back office systems to the recruitment industry. Soon the lure of London beckoned once more and Gareth moved to join Milkround Online – a well known online graduate recruitment business. A fruitful year there ensued in which he helped to revolutionize many internal systems for the company and gained useful experience on the inner workings of a web-only company at the cutting edge.

In 2004 Gareth accepted an offer to join 4MAT as a web developer. After a year in which he really proved his value to the company, Gareth took a career break, gaining invaluable new experiences as he traveled through 4 continents and 15 countries. He came back to work at 4MAT after this in 2006 and quickly proved his worth once again, rising to Senior Developer before being made Development Team Manager in 2007.

Outside of work Gareth enjoys photography, foreign travel, cycling and live music.
