I fell into recruitment after travelling for 18 months, I’ve now worked in recruitment for, gosh, 20+ years, working for a couple of different businesses building out new markets. I first met Lucy Rider at work many years ago and we have remained firm friends ever since, both enjoying running club and holidays together. We have discussed a lot over the years working together again; since Lucy moved to BB, I’ve enjoyed listening to her journey, plus I knew several members of the team and became increasingly interested in the business. BB sounded like a refreshing change and a place where I could be my authentic self; I was delighted to join the Leeds team earlier this year.
Transparent, inclusive, supportive, and mature. Genuinely a good place to work and thrive. It’s an empowering environment, and I really feel like I am being supported to do my best. I’ve enjoyed spending time with colleagues from other offices, we are all experienced recruiters, which is unique.
I love to run! I’ve ran 5 half marathons and lots of 10ks. Just last month, I ran the Leeds 10k in the sunshine.
Professionally, I’m proud that I’ve always been able to recruit anything for anybody! My focus is on finance now, but I’ve also recruited in the engineering, operations, marketing and telecoms sectors. I honestly think I’ve been successful in recruitment because I’m not a classic recruiter; I’m not a big ego, just scared of failure, which means I work really hard for my clients and candidates to deliver.
I’m a big Swiftie! I can’t wait to see her at Wembley in August. I love live music and good wine (has to be good wine!) and I really enjoy cooking.
