When I first joined Barrington James as an entry-level Recruitment Consultant in the European Contract Recruitment division, I could never have anticipated just how transformative my journey here would be. Seven years on, I am incredibly proud to step into the role of Director. It's been a journey filled with growth, challenges, and remarkable opportunities to develop not only my career but also our division into a vital part of Barrington James' global operations. Each promotion and the recognition as a global top-biller have been rewarding milestones, underscoring the potential and support for personal and professional development that Barrington James consistently offers.
Over the past five years, I’ve moved from Resourcer to Team Sales Manager, thanks to incredible mentors at Barrington James. Their guidance has been invaluable, especially during times of growth and challenge. Breaking the record for the highest billed month and winning Sales Person of The Year was a huge accomplishment, marking the consistency and dedication I’ve built with my clients over time. For anyone inspired to push boundaries, I’d say take it step-by-step, improve just a bit every day, and stay focused on the bigger picture. This is just the beginning, and I’m beyond excited for what lies ahead!
I joined Barrington James and the UKUS team in August 2019, when we were just a small team of eight consultants in a loft corner in Horley. Over the past four and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of watching and driving our team’s growth to 30 people, moving us to our own dedicated sales floor, breaking company records, and leading in office performance. Guiding consultants from the start of their careers to managing their own teams has been deeply rewarding. I’m proud to see the UKUS team grow and succeed, not just in the UK but in other global offices too.
My journey at Barrington James has been incredible. I worked with clients across Asia, spent time at our London Gatwick HQ, and finally made it to my dream destination: New York City. Winning Sales Person of the Year last year was a huge achievement and truly rewarding after years of hard work and dedication. New York was always the goal. My first visit in 2015 left a lasting impression, and knowing Barrington James had a New York office made joining the team an easy decision. Although moving during COVID added complexity, the support from Barrington James made everything seamless.
