Mea Opus has been formed to help both gamekeepers and wildlife managers seek their ideal job, whilst providing estates and shoots with the most efficient and cost-effective platform when employing staff. Mea Opus allows experienced keepers, students, stalkers and ghillies to upload their CVs and complete a detailed questionnaire. This will provide the information that demonstrates all the skills and attributes of each applicant, whilst also providing the opportunity to register the ideal future position they are seeking. There are no costs to applicants at any stage, even in the event of a successful offer of employment. When Estates and Shoots require new staff members, Mea Opus will undertake rigorous research, and identify the 5 – 10 most suitable candidates, thereby providing significant cost and time savings for employers. Following confidential conversations with each prospective applicant and confirmation that they wish to be considered for the post, Mea Opus will put forward all suitable candidates for interview. Founded by Tim Bowie, Richard Leach and Dylan Williams, Mea Opus was established to accommodate the demanding requirements of employers, who are seeking the best candidates for increasingly challenging and varied roles in a fast-changing environment.

We’ve been in business for more than 25 years, and that brings a deep understanding of the industries that make our part of the world tick. Industries like energy, manufacturing, whisky, farming, tourism and fishing – and many more besides. But we firmly believe attitude is as important as experience. And our attitude is all about making financial management the solution, not the problem.
