Why I love to recruit
Helping people is the #1 priority. I love recruitment as it gives the opportunity to help people in one of the most daunting things you can face - gaining a new job!

When I'm not working I like to
Reading, sunbathing, exploring and adventuring are at the top of the list for activities. When I'm not relaxing at home, I'll be in Wales with my partner exploring Southern areas and drinking lots of coffee with the in-laws.
