PAUL HOWELLS · FOUNDER & CEO

From classroom teacher to 25 years transforming UK education recruitment.

As a former teacher, Paul Howells saw firsthand how traditional recruitment agencies drained vital school budgets with 20% placement fees and inflated daily supply margins.

In 1991, Paul launched the UK's first teacher supply agency to bring integrity to classroom staffing. By 2000, he incorporated Eteach UK Limited to pioneer a revolutionary direct-recruitment portal and SchoolRecruiter ATS technology.

His mission was clear: empower schools and Multi-Academy Trusts to build their own talent pools, hire directly, and redirect hundreds of millions in agency commission back into frontline teaching.

Today, backed by 7,500+ member schools and 2 million registered education professionals worldwide, Paul and Director Rhys Howells continue to deliver bespoke leadership executive search and specialized STEM/SEND appointments nationwide.
