Listen. Reconfirm. Agree. Whether you’re talking to clients or candidates never assume you know. Most importantly sell you, your strengths, your company, your experiences and your passion.

I am an avid traveller and enjoy nothing more than exploring new countries and cultures. When I’m not jet-setting I enjoy spending time with my friends dining out, dancing and enjoying a few drinks.

Work with the ‘no surprises’ policy – this goes for Consultants, Clients & Candidates. Be clear and ask the right questions from the outset. This insures that everyone is on the same page and striving for the same goal. Be proud of your achievements and what you have to offer – you will never come across a top biller who isn’t able to confidently sell themselves.

I’m a big fan of the outdoors, enjoying hikes and fair weather walking in the country-side. I also enjoy being a member of my local gym.

Ensure you ask the right questions to your candidates and clients from the beginning, remembering to promote the right reputation. Give it every ounce of effort you have and let you passion shine through!

I am passionate about spending time with my family and close friends. There is nothing I like more than to eat good food, drink and to be sociable, I don’t often turn down a social event. I particularly enjoy making money but also spending it especially on items for myself and home! One interesting fact is I am a qualified tanning technician, which was inspired by my love of the beauty industry.

Remember at interview stage to sell yourself. Obviously recruitment is a sales job and you need to sell opportunities to candidates and candidates to clients – so selling yourself should be an easy sale.

Cycling is a passion of mine and one of my biggest achievements was cycling 160 mile round trip from Hampshire to the Isle of Wight. I have two lovable King Charles Cavaliers who come to work with me every day and when I’m not in the office I love going on luxury narrowboat holidays.

Listen to the voice inside your head and trust your intuition.

If in doubt, act. The optimism of the action always outweighs the pessimism of the thought.

Practice, practice, practice – until you can’t get it wrong.

And, never eat yellow snow!

Most sports – especially cricket and rugby. Gadgets – drones are great fun. Chickens, veg patch and making my own cider.

Clear your fee with confidence! Make sure not to talk about ‘current fees’, ‘normal fees’ or ‘standard fees’ with clients.  This language indicates that you don’t believe you are worth full fee and invites negotiation.  Be confident and just say, “My fees are…”  Be proud of what you do and the fee that you charge.

I’m a keen distance runner so when I’m not working, I train for events and get increasingly irritated that I’m getting slower with age.

Be confident and show your passion, commitment, energy and intellect and your will reap the rewards of a job in the Recruitment Industry.

I enjoy eating out and anything food and wine related, and to work off this hobby I try to attend the occasional Park Run with my two sons. I am passionate about watching my children play football and when I’m not working I love going on adventurous dog walks with my Chocolate Labrador and Cocker Spaniel.

Never trust a vet!

Trying really hard to find the balance between looking cute and appearing stupid

If in doubt, run round the room barking madly and jumping up at anyone around.

Spend most of my time ensuring that everyone does exactly what I want – it is exhausting work!
