I started my career in the technological sector before moving into recruitment on January 3rd 2007 with a global business, specialising from day one in the Accountancy & Finance sector. This was an area I had no previous background in so needless to say the homework was exhausting!
Since then I have played a key role in placing fantastic people into valued clients of mine, many of whom are still there to this day. I have built up an unrivalled network across Scotland including strong alliances with professional bodies within the sector. I am fortunate enough to have recruited for some of the best businesses around with a considerable number of placements made at both qualified and non-qualified through to senior executive level.
Why did you choose to become a Recruitment Consultant?
I was looking to make a move into something that would be a long-term career for me and a close friend had suggested moving into recruitment as I have always loved working with people. To date, the best piece of career guidance I have been given!
And if you had not been a Recruitment Consultant?
Growing up I always wanted to be an Actor however my first job was working as a Barista in a well-known coffee chain, perhaps I would have my own cafes…leaving that itch unscratched for now!
Most exciting moment?
Putting my wedding day and the arrival of my two daughters aside, it would have to be either seeing Andy Murray win Wimbledon (either time!) or going to see Paul McCartney with my Dad at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow in 2019.
Interests:
Outside of work I have three main passions, my family, tennis and cycling. I love the outdoors in all its’ forms and can often be found navigating my way around some of Scotland’s nicest, quiet places with my Goldendoodle.
