We’ve just strengthened the CY Partners team by adding a new resourcer to meet demands for our specialist services.

Our newest team member, 22-year-old Graham Hankinson spent a year working as a business development coordinator for a North-East based Design and Manufacturing Chemical & Instrumentation company before joining CY Partners, having previously gained a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Newcastle University.

Upon his appointment at CY Partners Graham said: “I was excited at the prospect of a new challenge and forming lasting working relationships within the scientific community so I was pleased to accept the position at CY Partners.

“When CY Partners contacted me I was very impressed by their attitude and work ethic with regards to recruitment therefore felt like I would be a perfect fit.”

Dan Younger, founder of CY Partners said: “We were looking for somebody to join the team to help meet the growing demand for our specialist services. We needed a resourcer to help source and place candidates in specialist positions, which Graham has already began doing since he joined the team.

“Graham is a local lad from Stakeford, Northumberland so he knows the North East well, making him a great fit. He’s made an excellent start and is a welcome addition to the Team at CY Partners.”

Since joining the team Graham has already hit the ground running by sourcing and placing candidates in specialist roles, he said: “A highlight for me so far was finding a Biomedical Science graduate working in retail part time and getting him a placement at a Pharmaceutical firm within two days of contacting him, it came with a good feeling of helping somebody out.”
