From the moment I got involved in the world of recruitment - I loved it. The variety, the business acumen required, the sales element and working with likeminded people are all reasons why I’ve never looked back.

I celebrate ten years with Stanton House this month and am incredibly proud to have been part of building the business from its very first year.

Before joining Stanton House, I worked for a multi-national recruitment business with my colleague Lee Costello, and that’s where we first met Stanton House founders, Neil Wilson and Nick Eaves.

Lee and I had been talking about starting up a recruitment business of our own for several years, but when we heard about Neil and Nick’s vision for Stanton House, the stars aligned.

We quickly realised that we shared the same values and goals and having previously worked with them we knew that we could help build something truly special.  

The first few years was all about establishing ourselves as a business. We were all hands on, recruiting and learning all the time. After that, we laid down the foundations from which we would grow.

We set out our Purpose to create exceptional experiences, formed our brand values and developed an operating model which was replicable and scalable as we entered new markets and specialist recruitment disciplines. We take learning and development and the careers of our people seriously and have developed

Over the years, ive predominately been focused on growing our regional accounting and finance business in the UK. As the business grew my role took on more strategic responsibility as a member of the Operating Board and as Chief Customer Officer. Most recently I’ve taken on responsibility for our HR and interim accounting & finance business across London and the South East.

Although I do less actual recruitment myself now, I still love speaking to our customers and being close to the front end of what we do, so I keep close to it even now.
