My recruitment journey began over 8 years ago, where I had the privilege of working at Virgin’s Talent Academy in Crewe. This gave me a unique insight into the corporate world, what true world-class looks like in a business and also, the realisation of what having an ethos of ‘people power’ can achieve.
I decided to start a new life on the South Coast and move closer to nature and the sea. I started to move towards more technical recruitment covering aviation, nuclear and manufacturing engineering. As my knowledge and expertise grew, I took another challenge with an SME and covered multiple verticals including environmental disciplines, risk, SHEQ, transport and civil & structural engineering.
As the sustainability agenda began to escalate and people were becoming more aware, I became more knowledgeable and started to think more deeply towards the good of the planet.
Climate17 got in touch; from the beginning it was obvious that the ethos and values that had guided me were synergistic with their beliefs. Work had become much more than a job and the possibility of making some indents towards the good of the planet whilst retaining my core values was evidenced.
I now look after a large and diverse sustainability practice, covering energy efficiency, reporting, compliance and benchmarking, right through to corporate sustainability who are in the race to deliver on the Net Zero agenda, SBTs, ESG, TCFD, GRI, etc.
Whilst not working, I spend time with my young family, seeking adventure, walking in nature, self - discovery and I also paint and play guitar…with the odd poem thrown in too.
