Who we are
Founded by Nick Gordon with his limitless drive and enthusiasm for success; Nick has the determination and ability to turn innovative ideas into reality and this has led to a lucrative 20-year recruitment sector career with a solid understanding of the necessary levers required to maximise the potential of any business.
Nick’s success started over 20 years ago in the HGV/driving sector which saw his business grow to be one of the largest suppliers of HGV drivers within the UK. He then sat on the board of a well recognised investment business that enabled him to enhance his skills in buying and restructuring businesses, overseeing the turnaround of a £1.1Billion global business that honed his knowledge in white collar IT, blue collar, German IT markets, medical markets (both in the UK and Australia) whilst this has enabled his own personal growth in business investment, it is ultimately Nick’s entrepreneurial determination and devotion that underpins the foundations of Meraki Capital.
With experience in both turnaround, restructuring, carve outs, and management buy outs within the recruitment sector Nick’s forte is adding operational excellence and value for the people within these businesses.
