we are djr.

We never set out to build another recruitment business. We built djr because organisations needed a partner who genuinely understood technology delivery. A partner who understands the technology, the people and what it takes to build successful Product Engineering, Data & AI, Cloud Infrastructure and Change & Transformation capability.

That belief hasn’t changed.

What has changed is the scale of what we do. Today we help organisations build that capability they need through specialist talent, delivery teams and outcome led engagements, but our focus remains exactly the same: helping clients deliver technology programmes that create real business value.

We’ve spent more than two decades specialising in the Microsoft ecosystem, giving us a deep understanding of the technology, the delivery challenges and, most importantly, the people who make the difference. That’s what allows us to build exceptional capability for the organisations we work with.

Technology doesn’t create successful programmes. The people behind them do.

The people behind djr.

Danny Wrigglesworth

Founder & Managing Director

Danny founded djr with a simple belief: technology doesn’t create successful programmes. The people behind them do.

For more than two decades, he’s specialised in the Microsoft ecosystem, partnering with organisations of every size, from ambitious startups to FTSE 100 businesses, helping them solve complex technology challenges through exceptional Product Engineering, Data & AI, Microsoft Business Applications and Change & Transformation capability.

Today, Danny leads the strategic direction of djr, working closely with clients to understand the challenges behind their technology programmes and helping them build the capability needed to deliver them successfully. His approach has always been rooted in honest advice, long term relationships and a relentless focus on delivering real business value.

Whether it’s supporting a single strategic hire, building an entire delivery team or leading an outcome led engagement, Danny’s focus remains exactly the same: helping organisations turn technology ambition into successful delivery.

Outside of work, Danny enjoys spending time with his family, watching the Arsenal and playing golf, although not always in that order.

Daniel Whiteman

Head of Permanent Solutions

Dan leads djr’s Permanent Solutions division, helping organisations build long term technology capability through exceptional people.

Specialising in Product Engineering, Data & AI, Microsoft Business Applications and Change & Transformation, Dan partners with organisations to identify the talent that will shape their future. He understands that permanent hiring isn’t just about filling a role. It’s about finding people who strengthen teams, elevate engineering standards and make a lasting impact.

Known for his honest approach and ability to build genuine relationships, Dan works closely with both clients and candidates to ensure every appointment is the right long-term fit. His focus is always on helping organisations build stronger teams and giving exceptional people the opportunity to do their best work.

Outside of work, Dan is a huge film fan, enjoys live music and festivals, spends plenty of time walking his dog and has another claim to fame… he’s appeared in EastEnders multiple times as the young Phil Mitchell. If he’s not on screen, you’ll probably find him in the gym, watching the boxing or planning his next adventure.

Our Values – our DNA.

These values aren’t just displayed on our walls. They’re lived every day. They shape the decisions we make, the standards we set and the way we work with our clients, candidates and each other.

Be Bold

We ask the difficult questions, challenge assumptions and aren’t afraid to have honest conversations. Better outcomes come from courage, not comfort.

Be Better

Good is the enemy of great, which is why we learn, improve and raise the bar every single day because our clients deserve our best, not our last.

No BS

We tell it as it is. If something won’t work, we’ll say so. If there’s a better way, we’ll tell you. Straight answers, honest advice and complete transparency. Always.
