As the owner operator of Route 1, My aim is to operate a good ethical business that is trusted by our clients and our candidates alike.

My first role in recruitment was when we worked with blue, and pink cards and sales was on the back of a ‘fag packet’ …. Skip 15 years in the industry where we do things a little better, where it is my goal to ensure all clients receive the best service possible from all at Route 1. I work with a diverse range of recruitment solutions across Commercial, Manufacturing & Engineering, Transport & Logistics sectors, extending to fully managed services including compliance and bespoke packages. Its is essential we build up ongoing relationships with both present and potential clients, and our dedication and commitment see’s us outgrow our competitors. For me, there is no better feeling that matching talent to opportunity and seeing them thriving a few years down the line. Fun fact: Im a raging Leeds United Fan, and on a weekend I enjoy nothing more than spilling pints in the pub whilst cheering them on.
I have worked in the Recruitment sector since 2015 and have been with Route 1 since November 2019. I initially was responsible for looking after the admin, payroll and credit control function for the business. I then decided to take the leap and moved over to the coal face of the business and joined the Driving Division. Over time this has expanded, and I am now involved in the recruitment for all our divisions. The role keeps me busy and as we all know no two days are ever the same in recruitment! The recruitment market has changed over these last few years, and we are constantly learning and developing our styles of recruitment – It will continue to be like this I am sure moving forward but it certainly provides me with a challenge on a daily basis and this is what I enjoy the most! I also have a busy life outside of work with two children that definitely keeps me on my toes. When I can, I love to go out with my friends, and I enjoy a drink or two!.

I am fairly new to the recruitment sector, my background is in HR. I spent about 10 years working for an independent care provider locally where I cut my teeth in the HR sector. Completed my degree at Huddersfield Uni. Have been with Route 1 as the Outplacement Consultant since August 2020. Our testimonials show we do a good job, which I'm very proud of. When my work is done, I do love watching the soaps on TV, I seem to have turned into a keen walker when I get the chance to get outside and enjoy our beautiful countryside.

I started my recruitment journey back in 2018 with a small agency based out of Wakefield to learn the trade, I instantly fell in love with the buzz of bookings. After learning the basics I joined my Father and his team at R1 as Managing Consultant and I've been here since. I am a Massive Newcastle United Fan and I'm confident i compete with the best of you in Newcastle United trivia. I love a good Pint (or 8) of Guinness on a Friday. That's about it for me.
