Proactive was founded in 2000, servicing the Engineering and Transport sectors. With initial offices in Egham and a small team of determined individuals, the business began to grow.

Over the years, Proactive evolved into one of the UK's leading technical recruitment agencies with an envious staff base and loyal market share. We opened our second office in 2010 in London Waterloo, which has today relocated to Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street station.

In 2011, Proactive was acquired by Human Capital Investment Group (HCIG). The acquisition gave Proactive the platform to build further, whilst providing an operational support infrastructure that includes HR, Compliance, Marketing, Payroll, Accounts and Credit Control

In 2013, we opened our third office – this time in Birmingham Central, to cater for the ever growing demand of our client and candidate base.

In 2014, Proactive launched AlphaTec Consulting as a joint venture between its management team and Proactive – a Milton Keynes based business specialising in technology and electronics recruitment
