Will started off in a recruitment role, before joining the Healthcare team as a PM. One of the highlights for Will is the opportunity to build strong relationships with clients, but every now and then he also enjoys sneaking in a bit of recruitment work as a treat. Outside of work, Will enjoys live music and unwinds with a nerdy hobby – Dungeons & Dragons!

The big dream is to do much more travelling. Her favourite destinations so far include Barcelona and Singapore – but she’s already busy thinking about all the places she’d love to go over the next couple of years.

Whether that’s home makeovers on television, the jaw-dropping interior designs on Instagram or the dressing up of her own home, She’s also an incredible baker with a speciality for biscuits which look almost too good to eat. Almost. She’s also kept very busy with her boys who are the real heart of the home.
