“I am a big believer that happy people make a successful business.  Aligning goals and aspirations and working in an environment where you feel supported and able to thrive is key – its something I believe Rayner Essex has at its heart. ”

I am a Chartered Member of the CIPD and work as HR Manager providing Rayner Essex with support across all elements of HR.  I have over 20 years of HR experience across a number of sectors including Construction and Technology and am a qualified Health Coach.

My role at Rayner Essex is incredibly varied and involves recruitment, compensation and benefits, payroll, HR projects and wellbeing, as well as supporting our employees achieve their full potential.   I enjoy the day-to-day contact with employees, managers, directors, and partners supporting them to achieve their goals and plans, which means no day is the same!

I am married with one child and 2 stepchildren.  When I am not working, I’m usually involved in sport of some kind – watching my son play rugby, or keeping fit with running, boxing or bootcamp.  Food, travel, and reading are my other passions.  I love exploring new places and am always up for a City break to somewhere new. 

Having worked across different sectors, I am a big believer that happy people make a successful business.  Aligning goals and aspirations and working in an environment where you feel supported and able to thrive is key – its something I believe Rayner Essex has at its heart.
