Being a strong, independent, ambitious, and flexible individual are all key traits that I poses and are ones which serve well at the Merit Group.  My journey at the Merit Group commenced in August 2006 following the completion of my BA (Hons) Business degree during that summer.  I had previously gained invaluable customer service and sales experience throughout my university degree by working for a Retail Marketing Company which I believe certainly put me in good stead when I decided to embark in a career in recruitment.  I was particularly interested in the opportunities on offer at the Merit Group, the culture and forward thinking attitude of the company and people, which was why I knew it was the company I could see myself growing in.

​

After only having worked for the company for a short successful period of time, I was promoted to Recruitment Consultant, Senior and I’m now the Business Manager for the Merit Group.  I am passionate about what I do, the challenges I face daily and the people I work with, which I believe is one of the main reasons as to why my career has accelerated so quickly and why I enjoy coming to work every day.

As the Business Manager I am responsible for a team of recruiters and project managers ensuring that we are successful whilst providing excellent customer service and being honest and ethical in our approach.  I have worked on and managed projects overseas, outsourced recruitment projects and also worked as an onsite recruiter during my time with Merit Group.  We pride ourselves in being able to find solutions for our clients staffing and HR issues no matter how big or small they may be.

For me the opportunities at Merit Group are limitless – as the brand and company grows the opportunities are there for its people to grab hold of!
