Recruitment has always been a part of my story—I grew up in a family-run recruitment business, long before technology transformed the industry. From newspaper adverts to today’s digital platforms, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful connections can shape careers and change lives. I officially began my own journey in 2021, specialising in general insurance.

Most of my success stories come from the Lloyd’s of London market, but I also support consultancies and wider commercial and personal lines clients. I typically partner with professionals from entry to mid-senior levels, helping them navigate a complex market with clarity, confidence, and insight. 

I add value by empowering candidates with market insights, interview preparation, and salary benchmarking—ensuring they feel informed and confident throughout their journey. For me, recruitment is about more than filling roles; it’s about shaping futures and making an impact that extends to families, companies, and communities.

Being an Opportunity Maker means creating tailored pathways that connect overlooked talent with market-leading opportunities, unlocking hidden potential along the way. The Eames value that resonates most with me is Cultural Connectivity—because when people truly feel connected to their work and environment, that’s where growth and innovation happen.
