The history of Brunel
Connecting professionals for more than half a century
50 years of Connecting Specialists to Pioneering Projects
For half a century, Brunel has stood at the forefront of global talent and innovation, connecting specialists with pioneering projects. What began in 1975 as a bold vision to match technical expertise with opportunity has evolved into a worldwide network of specialists driving progress across energy, engineering, life sciences, and beyond. As we mark our 50th year, we celebrate not only our milestones, but the people, partnerships and passion that have shaped our journey.
Milestones that made Brunel ...
1975
This was the year that Jan Brand, a graduate engineer himself, placed his first fellow engineer in a temporary position. With this first step, Jan Brand distinguished himself as a pioneer in the development of the temporary employment sector. Over the years this would become an international industry and an indispensable stabilising factor in local and international labour markets. This first placement, made when the company was operating under the name of Multec, also marks the beginning of Brunel's colourful history.
The first office
Typical of these early years was the emphasis on placing highly qualified, technical specialists. Even now Brunel is still known for this focus. The first office was established in Delft, the same city where Jan Brand attended university and a city that attracts many young engineers.
