Recruitment Consultant

Bio

I have worked in the recruitment industry since 2023, with a strong fashion background, working with suppliers, retailers and brands all over the UK and internationally. Prior to this, I worked in customer service and retail. Connecting with both clients and candidates is something I love!

I love recruiting in the Food and Drink industry and working with the fantastic team here at True North Talent.

Outside of the office, I love socialising with my friends. You will also find me outside at any opportunity I get! In the summer I’ll either be in a pub garden or out on my paddle board!

I love to travel as well, so whenever I can, I love to visit new places, whether in the UK or abroad.


Specialising in Interim, I am keen to build some great relationships within the Food and Drink manufacturing industry, so if you are looking for a new Interim position, please get in touch 😊
