View department →

Portsmouth, GB

Leading Astute People through its next chapter of growth, building on nearly two decades of technical recruitment success across the globe.Having worked my way up from Talent Specialist to Sales Director and now Managing Director, I’ve seen the business from every angle - and I’m still just as passionate about recruitment as I was on day one.Focused on driving performance, improving how we do business development, and delivering real value to our clients and candidates through smarter, more joined-up solutions.I’m big on culture - creating a place where people genuinely enjoy what they do, take pride in their work, and feel supported to push themselves further.My goal is simple: build a business people trust, that delivers results, and that we’re all proud to be part of.
