The faces behind your success.
Greatest success in recruitment:
Being asked to open a recruitment office in Chicago at the age of 26 and helping to grow a company to meet their vision and goals from 22 staff to 36 over the course of 18 months (and all staff are still there and doing brilliantly).
Most embarrassing moment:
Stepping on Elton John’s big toe.
If you want to know the rest of the story, you’ll have to buy me lunch.
Favourite food spot:
OXO Brasserie, London. I took my mum there for Mother’s Day and the combination of jazz, fine food and great company made it a fantastic place for lunch. Swiftly followed by Brasserie Ruhlmann in Rockefeller Plaza, Manhattan and again, my mum and I went there on our trip to NYC.
Famous for:
Being the first female football commentator with BBC Radio and also doing voiceovers for Capital Radio, London from the age of 14.

I once walked into (and bounced off of) Martin Johnson’s chest after an England match (that we won)! and nearly knocked myself out.
Favourite food:

Greatest Career Success:
Definately recruitment! I started my recruitment career as a resourcer having worked in the Cosmetics industry for 12 years, then had responsibility for training new resourcers before becoming a consultant within a short amount of time. In my recruitment career, I have have had the ability to work freelance and office based and both have been great experiences. I am particulary proud of completeing my Recruitment qualification whilst managing the home and three kids!
Famous for:
My ever changing hair colour! My husband never knows what colour it will be one week to the next.
Most embarrassing moment:
Unfortunately, with three litle girls, I have to go to soft play areas and on one occassion, my girls wanted me to climb and run around one, which I did and all was going well until I got stuck in a “roller” and had to be pulled out by a random parent after my eldest climbed down and said “Can you help my Mummy? She is stuck…” Mortifying!
Favourite Food:
I LOVE Thai, Japanese and Chinese but I will happily eat most food if it is in front of me. I have a weakness for chocolate milkshake which my girls have inherited. Oops!
