Charles Matthews

I’m regularly described by friends, family, and colleagues as passionate and energetic, and I bring that to my work at Keystream every day.

One of the things I love most is working with incredible people—getting to know them, understanding their strengths, and matching them with challenging, rewarding work that benefits the public good.

I lead Keystream’s Central Government team, where we bring 35+ years of experience to provide market-leading solutions. Personally, I have a strong track record in Interim & Permanent Recruitment, Sourcing/Solutions, and Packaged Services & Deliverables.

My expertise lies in supporting customers with people-powered, tech-enabled solutions, particularly in Digital, Data & Technology, and Corporate Services. I provide detailed sector knowledge and honest, straightforward advice on the best solutions for my clients.

I’m focused on growing our great team and keeping Keystream at the forefront of government recruitment!

About Me: I love spending time with my wife Lucy and my son Hugo in our beautiful hometown of Burnham-on-Crouch. Having grown up on the River Crouch, I’ve sailed my whole life, with dinghy racing as a key passion. I also love skiing and try to make at least one trip a year to the Alps. Outside of that, I’m a general sports enthusiast and a lifelong, long-suffering Southend United fan!
