My specialism:
Town Planning Recruitment
My approach to recruitment:
I have a very confidential approach and offer high levels of accuracy of information – this often leads to my working with candidates and clients more than once in their career. Having worked in the Midlands, London and the South Coast, I have a broad knowledge of the market. I offer counsel on assignment process, salary advice, the candidate pool and career opportunities. I have delivered retained searches, permanent and interim projects and thoroughly enjoy working within the professional town planning market.
Clients that I work with:
Leading private practices, town planning consultancies, developers and investors. I have undertaken Search Assignments for Head of Property positions; setting up new surveying practice locations and have successfully merged firms. I have worked on a range of assignments within my long and successful career and enjoy handling roles across all levels.
What keeps me motivated:
Is the broad variety where I manage a range of individual assignments and am required to gain an in-depth understanding of candidate and client objectives.
What I do differently:
I often work with ‘hard to fill’ roles where I form a detailed understanding of the career opportunity on offer in order to attract individuals. Identifying candidate motivations has ensured the avoidance of counter-offer situations - which I begin to manage from the very first point of contact.
What keeps me busy at the weekend:
I enjoy creating items and crafts and have a busy social life based around soulful house music.
My favourite films:
Good thrillers (and I love a well-made zombie movie!)
My favourite drink:
I enjoy good wine and have attended wine tasting courses
My favourite travel destination:
New York! Busy, buzzing and friendly.
Not many people know this about me:
I have sat in the cockpit of Concorde, undertaken a car mechanic course and driven some expensive and very fast cars.
