I worked for an International Investment bank prior to embarking on a recruitment career in the City for a global Plc consultancy, so that makes me quite old! It’s okay, I don’t mind sharing this with you, I have matured gracefully during this time and have become an expert in the complex Financial Services, Accountancy & Finance and Project Management sectors.
I have been instrumental in recruiting at all levels from mid-management to Board and built up an invaluable network across the sectors I specialise in. I really enjoy delivering an excellent service, as well as working on challenging assignments. The greatest pleasure for me, which the years have afforded, is seeing businesses I have worked with grow and the careers of people I have helped flourish.
Why did you choose to become a Recruitment Consultant?
Following a 9-month sabbatical living in Kentucky, USA a good friend introduced to the industry and I have not looked back!
And if you had not been a Recruitment Consultant?
I realised quite early that my ambition become a football star were somewhat misplaced, after which I always dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot, after watching Top Gun. But let’s face it, being a recruitment consultant is definitely a step-up!
Most exciting moment?
Avoiding the clichés about marriage and birth of children, they are mostly football related. Being there when my beloved Tottenham qualified for the Champions League in Manchester. Being in the San Siro to see us beat Milan and of course going to the finals in Madrid to lose to Liverpool. Beating Arsenal on the way to the FA Cup triumph in 1991. We could be here all day, but you get what I am talking about.
Interests:
Today I enjoy coaching my son’s football team, living my non-playing days through his eyes, road cycle for miles with friends and hacking my way around a golf course, ruining a great walk. I love to travel with the wife and kids and sharing time with friends and family.
