As People and Operations Manager, I am responsible for leading the internal recruitment, training & development and employee wellbeing of our staff at JBAndrews across our Leeds (HQ) and Dubai offices.

I am always delighted to speak with exceptional people who are experienced Recruiters or those who are looking to kick-start their career in a People-First, Global Executive Search Firm and want to be part of our ambitious growth plans!

I am very passionate about leading the People function for a ‘People-First’, performance focused company and here is what JBAndrews can offer you;

Outside of work I really enjoy my sport! I play hockey to a regional standard for Leeds Hockey Club and Level 2 Qualified coach. In the spring/summer I can be found hacking a golf ball around the course, and when I can I’ll dabble in a bit of squash, 5 aside football after work, running and tennis. I’m a Liverpool FC supporter and very proud that my Grandfather played for the club in the 1950s…unfortunately I received none of his talent!
