A little bit about me…

I didn’t fall into recruitment like everyone else.  Recruitment found me.  18 years later I still have the same genuine passion for it.

I want to make a difference in our recruitment world – that’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.

I always give 100% .. unless I’m giving blood.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Usually either in the gym, up a mountain, or with my boys on a kayak.  I love the outdoors.

Smashed Kilimanjaro in 2022.

Everest Base Camp in 2024.

And a fun fact?

I once wore just my boxer shorts to work.  Don’t ask.

A little bit about me…

I only popped out to get a paper… before I know it, I’ve spent 17+ years in IT recruitment and have run my own business for 8 years.

I specialise in contract and permanent recruitment.

Full of puns and dad jokes.

Devoted father.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Spending time with family and playing with my daughter are the most important things to me.

I always try to squeeze in holidays and weekends away and whenever I can I’m at Fratton Park watching Portsmouth FC play!

Currently studying German – college and Duolingo! I’m on Duolingo daily.

And a fun fact?

Met Princess Royal during her visit to Daedalus Airfield, celebrating the airfield’s 100^th birthday.

A little bit about me…

I love my job and have over 13 years’ experience in Recruitment, focusing on most recently Data and technology and before that financial services. I find the use of Data and Analytics within organisations very interesting. It’s a very exciting industry!

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Outside of work I enjoy travelling abroad and in the UK. I do my best to get away as many times as I can, I prefer visiting new destinations each time.

Before my daughter came along, I was a regular snowboarder in the winter months and I am looking forward to hitting the slopes again as soon as she is old enough.

Most my time is currently being taken up sailing and spending time with the family, visiting farms and country parks.

And a fun fact?

I met Joanna Lumley, and my daughter had just painted my face as we were at a Halloween event (I looked terrible) – I do have photo evidence!

A little bit about me…

I got into recruitment over 4 years ago whilst in Australia. I was a broke backpacker at the time and had to walk 1 ½ hours in the Sydney sun to make it to my first interview! Thankfully, I packed some deodorant in my bag. 

I’ve been at Mexa Solutions for over 2 years now, with the majority of that time being spent working within the Microsoft Cloud market. I’m extremely grateful to work in such an exciting sector with an incredible community. The Microsoft Cloud space is constantly evolving with new releases always around the corner – sometimes it’s hard to keep up! With the release of ChatGPT and Microsoft tools and features such as Copilot and Viva, this industry really is at the forefront of how we work.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

I’ll generally be playing sports or exercising; mainly tennis, golf, running, or hiking. I also really enjoy exploring, whether that’s the UK or abroad – my most recent trip was to Montenegro which I’d definitely recommend!

And a fun fact?

​I once won an all-inclusive holiday for my whole family to Barbados. I was 12!

A little bit about me…

I am a Maths Graduate turned technical recruiter and discovered my love for recruitment whilst on a placement at IBM – where I took the opportunity to escape the finance department and support the recruitment team.

Following my graduation, I ventured out as a Data recruiter, but quickly discovered new areas of interest which include digital marketing and software development.

Although I am “hands-on” technical, I love following new areas of technology and watching it evolve, seeing the wider benefits it brings.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

I am freelance pianist and musician and work with a lot of local Musical Theatre societies as a Musical Director.

When not playing in a theatre, you will find me out walking my Border Collie, working out at the gym, or attempting to improve my guitar playing.

In the summer you will always find me at the beach with a paddle board.

And a fun fact?

I recently worked on a cruise ship as Pianist, playing for celebrity guest entertainers.

A little bit about me…

I started my recruitment career in 2015.

In that time I’ve amassed a proven track record of success within the Healthcare, Engineering, International Renewable Energy, and now in the Software space.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Outside of work you will find me out hiking with my German Shepherd dog, frequenting a nice country pub, or taking on a new DIY project.

And a fun fact?

Before recruitment, I thought I’d be a rockstar through my guitar playing. Safe to say this didn’t materialise and resulted in me being on an episode of Channel 4’s Bodyshockers!

A little bit about me…

I’ve been a recruiter for a few years now, but started my career in IT recruitment when I joined Mexa Solutions – and am loving it!

My favourite part of my role is speaking to my candidates and hearing the passion and interest in their voices when I tell them about a potential dream job of theirs that I have for them.

Mummy to my gorgeous little boy Theo – my world!

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Outside of work, is most definitely a LOT of walking! I have a border collie dog and a baby boy, so I’ve definitely got my hands full.

They are the light of my life, and my favourite thing is to go on long walks with my family, and just see them loving life!

And a fun fact?

Throughout Covid, my brother fell into the world of ancestry….and I found out that I am the 13th Granddaughter descended from one of the Pendle Witches!

A little bit about me…

After graduating from university with a degree in marketing, I ventured into the world of recruitment.

I started my career in domestic recruitment sourcing butlers and nannies for private households (a lot different from IT!!).

I also love to travel and have been very fortunate to visit some amazing countries around the world

Where can you find me at the weekend?

I have two very energetic rescue dogs, so I am always going for long walks on the beach and at local nature reserves. Since moving to the coast I have also taken up paddle-boarding!

And a fun fact?

I used to live in Nashville Tennessee, working in the largest non-gambling resort in the US!

A little bit about me…

I started my recruitment career in 2021 working in the Engineering sector and have since taken on working in the ever-growing Data and Analytics market!

I never pictured myself working in IT Recruitment, yet I am absolutely loving it and am so glad I took the plunge.

I love working with candidates, building new relationships, and helping them find their dream job. It feels so rewarding.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

I love living an active lifestyle, so I enjoy regular trips to my local gym or getting outside for some fresh air.

I love trips away to various locations around the UK. I especially love Devon and Cornwall. I spent several years on family trips here and it holds a lot of happy memories!

If I’m not found in North Devon on a beach stuffing my face with a bag of chips, I’ll probably be at home pottering about in the garden, seeing family and friends, or even some weekends at Goodwood Race Circuit or Silverstone (I have a bit of a soft spot for cars!).

And a fun fact?

Believe it or not, I’m a huge fan of cars. Throughout Summer I love attending shows at Goodwood and Silverstone.

If I wasn’t working in recruitment, my dream job would be to be a drifting champion!!!

A little bit about me…

Mexa’s resident marketing expert, following almost 10 years as an IT recruiter.

Mum to three young boys, managing both the school run and social media posts!

My main aim is to show people how recruitment can really be done, and how we at Mexa really do make a difference.

Where can you find me at the weekend?

Mostly running after my 3 boys – life is generally hectic!

If I get some downtime, I’m usually found doing something creative – painting, crafting, singing or playing an instrument.

We also love gaming, so I’m often joining one of my boys’ Minecraft worlds, building statues or looking for emeralds!

And a fun fact?

My first (and only) climb up Snowdon was done with shoes tied together with rope and socks over the top, as my soles came off 10 mins into my climb! Still did it though ?
