Ryan Chacksfield

Ryan began his career in recruitment, where he spent several years getting to know candidates, understanding what they were looking for and helping connect them with the right opportunities. He later moved into marketing, working across various European markets and collaborating with people from different countries and cultures. This gave him a broader perspective on how organisations communicate with different audiences and sparked his interest in the relationship between great recruitment and great marketing.

His move into marketing felt natural. Ryan has always been drawn to storytelling and finding creative ways to communicate ideas. He studied Screenwriting at university, graduating with a First-Class degree, and still draws on the storytelling skills he developed in his work today. He has since completed a Level 4 CIM qualification in Professional and Digital Marketing, combining his creative background with his interest in understanding audiences and effective communication.

At Peridot, Ryan enjoys working with purpose-led organisations and helping bring their work to life through marketing and communications. He takes a collaborative approach, enjoying getting to know people, understanding different perspectives, and finding authentic ways to communicate what makes an organisation distinctive. His recruitment background means he understands how important it is for potential candidates and clients to get a genuine feel for an organisation, rather than simply being presented with a polished message.

Outside of work, Ryan enjoys walks in nature and has a keen interest in film, particularly 1970s cinema. He also enjoys learning about history and absorbing compelling true crime books.
