I graduated from The University of Salford with a B.Sc in Business and Financial Management. During my time at university I got a theoretical understanding of how business works, I extended my skills by doing a placement year at UTC Aerospace Systems. Through my time in the ‘real’ business world, I developed a strong understanding and skillset of how HR helps and supports so heavily in an organisation. I demonstrated my capabilities by winning a senior award and being the first to do so as a working student. I knew from my studies and experience that working with people was what I wanted to do and what better way to do so than continue into a career in recruitment.
What do you do when you're not working?
Since being a very young age I have played in almost every sport you could think of, I now just play football and golf but even that is restricted at times due to injuries (I can’t blame my age on that one). I also spend a lot of time out with the dogs on walks in the countryside.
Are there any people or books that have inspired you?
It is difficult to pinpoint one person/book/film but I can say that there are a lot of things out there that inspire me to hit the goals and heights I aspire to.
