Previously he worked at one of the UK’s leading tech recruitment organisations, where he managed recruitment teams across four UK locations. Stephen is a lifelong fan of Manchester United; he enjoys both ski & summer holidays and when he is not busy with his family he can be found on the golf course.

Her experience spans across a varied portfolio of sectors, she has spent the last decade managing and developing new business streams and building teams of recruitment consultants. Outside of work, Gemma is a mum to 2 young, growing boys who keep her extremely busy with their endless list of hobbies.
