My journey with Reactive Recruitment Ltd began 10 years ago when I joined as a Trainee Consultant, just a few months after the company was founded by Max & Paul. From those early days, I've been deeply involved in the growth and success of the business, working my way up from the ground floor to now leading as Director. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the recruitment landscape and have been fortunate to contribute to the company’s expansion and evolution.

My hands-on experience in every facet of the business allows me to lead with a unique perspective, one that combines operational expertise with a deep empathy for both our clients and candidates. I am passionate about building strong, lasting relationships and creating value at every stage of the recruitment process.
