JANE BROWN - AKA "BROWNIE"

With over 20 years HR experience (she started young!) & a chartered fellow of the Institute of Personnel and Development – Jane is instrumental in driving IIP forward so we can achieve the standard in 2008!

Brownie has 3 children (4 if you include lovely hubby Mike) and enjoys good food, Sunshine and Red Wine & Gin and Tonic – not in the same glass obviously! She loves a good boogie – and is the first on the dance floor at any HQ “Do’s” Does a mean “oops up inside your head”

LOUISE GOVE - AKA "LOU"

Our Top class Harrogate manager – Lou manages our Harrogate team and is entering her 3rd year with the HQ team. A well-respected colleague who has an impressive knack of placing the right candidates into permanent positions at extreme speed whilst also working strategically on the growth of the business!

Lou is married to Alan – and enjoys long walks in the county with her dog Molly – followed by a big Sunday lunch and a glass of wine or two! She has recently taken to snowboarding too, which we are all secretly quite impressed about. Lou also (after several wines) turns into the most gifted singer EVER to have existed – and will hog any Karaoke machine until either her throat gets sore or onlookers ears start to bleed!

GILLIAN MORAN ­ AKA “GILLIE”

Outside of work, Gillian loves dining out and the odd Gin and Tonic ..or 3 and is busy planning her upcoming wedding in February!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASSY GILL Back to profile list

CASSY GILL - THE LOUD ONE!

The longest serving member of the HQ team (she reminds the team of this fact frequently) Cassy seems to think a trip to Las Vegas would be an appropriate way of celebrating her 5th year with HQ in 2008! Cassy is a true “happy camper” and loves her recruitment life with HQ. Candidates and clients have commented on how they can hear her laughing when approaching the top of Church Street.

Outside work - Cassy hurtles down the A1 / M1 to Leicester most weekends to spend time with her other half.
Cassy is horse mad! She competes on a regular basis in Show jumping and Eventing on her horse Harvey. Cassy also loves going away for long weekends and on Exotic holidays!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helen Isle Back to profile list

HELEN ISLE - AKA "HELLS BELLS"

Now approaching her 4th year within the Recruitment Industry, Helen runs our busy temporaries desk in our Harrogate branch. She places temps at an astonishing rate! When hard at work, it is impossible to stop her!

Helen has travelled the world – and visited Australia, Thailand, Fiji and America to name but a few. The crazy girl has also jumped out of an aeroplane! Outside of work Helen loves drinking nice wine, eating crisps with dip and doing the odd Jager Bomb when out in Harrogate !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMILY JEFFERSON – AKA JUNIOR JEFFO!

The newest addition to the HQ team in January 2008, Emily is a politics graduate and has joined our team in Harrogate as a Permanent Consultant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SARAH PULLAN Back to profile list

SARAH PULLAN - AKA "SAR"

Whether she likes it or not, Sarah is responsible for the HQ team – and implementing strategies & targets that will ensure that we achieve our expansion plans. She puts her success down to employing (and rewarding) her team, planning fantastic HQ team events and also the fact that she is quick to get the Wine out at the drop of a hat!

Sarah is married to Graeme – and enjoys holidays, theatre and fine wine (well, any wine really!) She also participates in shouting on Leeds United with the Wetherby Crew – and has been known to partake in the Odd Beer (or 2) after a match! Sarah is a very likeable, attractive and clever boss who is extremely approachable. It’s maybe worth mentioning that she also has final say on the wording of the website!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NATASHA ELVIDGE Back to profile list

NATASHA ELVIDGE - AKA "TASH"

With a background in banking – Natasha was initially taken onboard to be a “Steadying Influence” for the loud and flamboyant Wetherby team! How wrong we were! Tash is now in her 2nd year with HQ and concentrates on running our busy temporary section. She does this amazingly well, and without pulling her hair out!

Her weekend time is usually spent going to various “Outdoor Music Venues” and being photographed with a different bottle of something alcoholic in every photo. Tash also enjoys riding on her boyfriend John’s “Tuk Tuk” In case you were wondering – this is a form of Indian transport! Tash enjoys eating out, and being dragged by John (quite literally) down many a cycle path in the Wetherby area!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Samantha Mazza Back to profile list

SAMANTHA MAZZA - AKA "MAZ"

The most organised person we all know! Doesn’t even play the “touch a piece of paper once” game – there doesn’t seem to be any paper on her desk! Anywhere!

Sam is the only member of the HQ team who has a Gym membership and actually uses it! And she even enjoys it! Sam hates melted cheese (even on Pizza!), is up to her eyes in paint from decorating her new flat – and spends some weekend time concentrating on how not to fall off the revolving dance floor at Sly’s nightclub!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lynne Currie Back to profile list

LYNNE CURRIE - AKA "LINUS"

Our super Accounts lady – who makes sure all our temps get paid correctly – Lynne worked for Barclays Bank for over 30 years (from childhood obviously!) – and joined our team early part of 2007. Recently entertained the HQ team (and the whole of Wetherby) by forgetting to take out a roller from her hair!

Outside work Lynne enjoys the peace and quiet of a 4-hour golf round when hubby and son go golfing! She also enjoys good food and wine and recently confided in Sarah that she counts to three when pouring Gin in her G&T! A girl after Sarah’s own heart!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Samson - The Office Cat Back to profile list

SAMSON - THE OFFICE CAT

Samson is a cherished member of the Harrogate office who loves nothing more than lounging on the comfy chairs and eyeing up the 3 office goldfish. With years of experience in sleeping, eating and purring, he has taken to the role of office cat very well.

Samson loves getting spoilt and favours a late afternoon treat of either smoked salmon or ham. His after hours activities remain a mystery, but whatever mischief he’s getting up certainly requires a lot of recuperation the next day!
