INSIGHTS

After completing my degree and masters in Human Resources, I have worked in Human Resources for over 20 years. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (MCIPD) and committed to my personal development through continuous business improvement. ​
​

My role involves line management of the Talent Acquisition Team and People Advisors to ensure that we are recruiting the best talent into the business and provide a proactive, efficient and professional generalist People & Culture service to our people. We are constantly reviewing our processes and procedures to ensure that we are providing our people and the business with the best service and achieving best practice. ​

I love working for Lyreco because we are a company that keeps our people at the heart of everything we do, whilst we work towards a high-performance culture. We are progressive and embrace positive changes, and I thrive on adding value to our transformative business through Human Resources. ​

 My Life Outside of Work ​

I love being a mummy to my identical twin daughters, spoiling, and sharing new life experiences with them. We love to travel and attend events with our family and friends both at home and abroad. 

I joined Lyreco UK & Ireland through the Business Graduate Scheme in 2019; in October 2020, I had the opportunity to take on a permanent position and join the Talent Acquisition team.​

​Every day is different, and I can learn whilst on the job, which is what I love most about Lyreco. A ‘snapshot’ of my day-to-day role includes working on a range of projects to achieve our overall recruiting objectives and the exciting prospect of recruiting for top talent to join our growing team.​

​I thrive off building a strong rapport with candidates and being a part of their journey through the recruitment process. I particularly enjoy getting to see talented individuals prosper into their new roles at Lyreco. ​

​My life outside of work​

​My greatest passion is rowing; I have competed at a professional level and have achieved a silver medal at the English and Welsh Championships respectively. In 2020, I also competed in the World Indoor Rowing Championships.

My job really allows me to change peoples’ lives – other than getting married or buying a house, there are a few things that have a significant impact on an individual and their loved ones than landing a great job! ​

Our team works hard to ensure that we always provide a good recruitment experience to our candidates; there’s nothing better than calling our candidates and telling them they have been successful. ​

What’s more, I also love how environmentally conscious we are as a business; when I am not recruiting, I take care of the Lyreco bees that we keep at the Telford Head Office. ​

My life outside of work​

I am the Town Mayor in the town of Much Wenlock. I also live on a farm with my American wife Sara, our cats Archie and Ginger, and our very own bees.
