About Me
With over 17 years of experience in automotive recruitment, combined with a background in insurance and telecommunications, I have successfully supported clients across the UK and internationally in securing top automotive talent — from entry-level professionals to senior national management roles.
As a specialist motor trade recruiter, my focus is on building genuine, long-term partnerships with both clients and candidates. I take the time to understand each business’s culture, values, and specific hiring needs to ensure the perfect fit. My goal is to deliver not just placements, but long-lasting recruitment solutions that help businesses grow and individuals thrive within the automotive industry.
