Please tell me a little bit about yourself
I have 18 years sales experience, prior to working in the energy sector I worked in IT recruitment.
I love travelling and recently returned from Costa Rica after visiting for three weeks. I really enjoy visiting exotic locations.
I’m also an artist and I’m fortunate that my work sells across the world, another way that I am able to indulge my passion for travel.
It's a candidates' market and your skills are in demand, what set Applica apart as an employer for you?
When I spoke to Tom and Matt, Applica’s ethos of growing a business based on developing genuine relationships really appealed to me.
With Applica I feel that I have an amazing opportunity to help define where the company is going. The directors and the team here are all about becoming a trusted partner in the industry and that suits me perfectly.
What do you enjoy most about this industry?
My degree is in Geology and I have a real passion for the science which sits behind the energy sector. I have found that being able to ‘talk on a level’ with project managers, key stakeholders and engineering professionals to be a distinct advantage.
Working with Applica is a natural fit as we all want the same thing; the best for the client and the candidate by building relationships based on knowledge and trust.
Finally, tell me something that not many people know about you
I met Joan Collins through my artwork. I did a painting of her which was auctioned for £25,000. In total my artwork has raised around £100,000 for good causes.
