In 2007, Christopher Slay incorporated Skills Provision Limited in Frome, Somerset, recognizing that complex engineering, infrastructure, and industrial operations face crippling talent shortages when restricted to purely domestic labor pools.
Over nearly two decades, Christopher and Co-Director Francesca Bailey transformed Skills Provision into a powerhouse international recruitment engine—marrying stringent technical vetting with end-to-end global mobility, visa compliance, and employer of record (EOR) infrastructure.
By investing over £1.65M in proprietary workforce management platforms and intellectual property, Skills Provision scaled its balance sheet to £1.60M in net assets, deploying skilled specialists across the UK, mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America.
Today, whether sourcing high-rise project directors for Riyadh giga-projects, MEP engineers in Boston, or precision shipbuilders in the Netherlands, Christopher continues to prove that borders are no barrier to world-class technical execution.
