About The Source Technical

Intro

I’m Catherine Rynham, Recruitment Director at The Source Technical.

I specialise in supporting businesses across textiles, engineered fabrics, composites and advanced materials, helping them secure the technical, commercial and operational talent needed to grow and compete in complex markets.

With a global network of over 28,000 connections, I work with both SMEs and established organisations across the UK, Europe, US and Middle East.

A More Focused Approach

Most recruitment is built around volume.

My approach is focused and specialist.

I work in technically-led markets where understanding the product, application and commercial environment is critical. This allows me to identify individuals who not only meet the brief, but deliver real impact.
