Read how Stewart plays a key role in driving Cidori’s impact.
As we begin sharing the voices behind Cidori, we’re starting with someone who has been part of the journey from day one – Stewart Jones, Senior Business Development Manager.
Stewart plays a key role in driving our impact. From providing operational direction to Business Development Managers, to supporting regional teams in achieving candidate referrals, job outcomes and employer engagement – his focus is always the same: creating real opportunities for people.
Working closely with college partners, employers and colleagues across the business, Stewart helps ensure every programme delivers what matters most – progression into work.
But for Stewart, it’s more than targets and performance.
It’s about people.
With a strong background in recruitment, Stewart has spent years connecting individuals with opportunities – understanding what employers need, identifying talent, and helping people take the next step.
Cidori gave him the chance to take that one step further.
“What drew me to Cidori? The chance to go beyond just placing candidates. At Cidori, it’s about developing people, not just filling vacancies. It’s about building skills, confidence, and long-term career pathways.”
That belief is reflected in the moments that stay with him.
From supporting individuals into employment who have faced significant barriers – including learners stepping back into society after more than 20 years in prison – Stewart has seen first-hand how the right opportunity can change the direction of someone’s life.
For him, that’s what it’s all about.
“Changing lives for the better means creating positive impact for individuals who need opportunity the most.”
So how does he sum up his ‘why’?
“Skills meets opportunity.”
A simple phrase that captures the essence of what we do at Cidori.
We’re proud to have Stewart on the team – and proud of the impact he continues to make.
