What does your role entail?

I design and produce marketing material for a wide range of recruitment sectors, ensuring they effectively communicate the desired message and align with the company’s branding, including print, digital and video.

Tell us about your career path so far.

I started my working career in hospitality where I spent 15 years working in pubs, bars and nightclubs.

It's here where I first started in marketing & design, first working for a small pub chain for 7 years before moving on to an accounting firm where I honed my digital marketing skills.

I soon realised that the graphic design aspect of the role was something I enjoyed more. It was then that I joined Spencer Clarke Group.

I hope they would say I am friendly, helpful and funny.
