About Me 

Business Director and Co-Founder at R13, where I focus on strategy, supporting our team, building relationships, and driving growth — both for our business and the people we work with.

Despite my youthful appearance (!), I’ve built up more than 20 years of recruitment experience, and I’m still going strong. Connecting the dots is where I thrive — bringing together people who can genuinely add value to one another, not just in recruitment but across the wider business community too.

Helping people is what gives me my buzz (alongside coffee…). I’m incredibly proud to support our EPIC business community as they grow their teams, while also helping hundreds of people make meaningful career transitions.

I love conversations around hiring, business growth, organisational structure, succession planning, employer brand, careers, insights, and all things people-related. Outside of work, I’m equally happy chatting about Norfolk’s food and drink scene, travel, nature, art, comedy, psychology, true crime… the list goes on 😉.

I’m also a Board Member for Co.Next, supporting and guiding young professionals across Norfolk.

Away from work, I’m mum to one fabulous little boy, wife to one sympathetic husband, and pet mum to three cats and two dogs — all based in the beautiful Norfolk countryside.

If you see me, come and say hello — I’m always happy to talk about pretty much anything, or feel free to connect with me here.
