ALISON

I graduated from Uni in 1995 with a business studies degree and fell into recruitment. I’m so glad I did. No day is ever the same in recruitment, people will tell you there are lots of ups and downs, but I love it. I’m a very competitive individual and enjoy the challenge of finding the best talent for my clients, regardless of their size, sector, culture, etc. For me, investing time in my clients and candidates, building long-lasting partnerships with people - seeing their companies grow, seeing their careers thrive  - is what really motivates me to work in recruitment.

I’ve spent most of my career placing interim finance and project professionals across the North West. The speed of the service and the importance of getting it 'right first time' is crucial, and over the last 3 years, I have had an equal amount of success applying the same methodology to the permanent market.

My life has always revolved around sport and adventure. After 15 fulfilling years coaching and managing a grassroots football team, I’ve swapped the touchline for the driver’s seat — now running what might just be the most efficient taxi service for my  teenage son and his sporting pursuits but also commuting to see my eldest son at Uni. When I’m not shuttling between pitches and courts, you’ll find me out on the trails with my endlessly energetic Vizsla, pushing my limits in strength training, or taking on new challenges throughout the year — all in the name of raising                                                                                             funds for the charities close to our hearts.
