·         Managing global volume recruitment campaigns

·         Supporting high‑performance engineering and technical teams in FMCG manufacturing

·         Leading senior‑level and specialist hires across supply chain, operations, engineering, quality, and technical functions

I’m passionate about helping clients build exceptional teams and helping professionals build long‑term careers, not just find their next job. My philosophy has always been centred around adding value, offering genuine expertise, and acting as a trusted partner from start to finish.

Professional Achievements

I’m proud to have earned multiple industry recognitions, including:

·         IRP/REC Permanent Recruiter of the Year – Winner

·         Staffline “Million Pound Biller” Award – Winner

·         MA (Distinction) in Recruitment Practice
