I joined KES in 2012 and was promoted to Senior Consultant in 2015 and Branch Manager in 2016. Following on from my Maternity Leave, I decided to step away from the Manager’s position to focus on Business Development, Clients and Candidates. I have a degree in Business Management and sound experience of recruiting across all sectors. With over 11 years experience within the recruitment industry I have excellent skills which enable me to find the right candidate for your company.

Account Manager

I joined KES Solutions in November 2021 taking the exciting step to become an Account Manager for one of our biggest clients. Before starting in the role I worked in retail management for over 15 years where I managed numerous cross skilled teams including warehouse staff, drivers and retail. My operational management means I have a lot of experience and transferable skills within customer and colleague relations. I believe this enables me to succeed in the ever changing recruitment industry.
