Like a stick of rock, the writing on the inside of Sue would say ‘Recruitment’.  A Consultant through and through built during a Recruitment career spanning 20 years….(okay – she started when she was 5!!!) Sue has experience in many sectors including Marketing and PR, Engineering, Aerospace and Defence, Telecommunications, Banking, Games and Insurance.

Sue believes in traditional values where the ‘Customer is King’ and if you believe you succeed.  She has an exemplary understanding of the recruitment industry and a second to none reputation.

Not afraid of hard work, Sue started life as a hairdresser training under Vidal Sassoon – renowned to be one of the industry’s hardest taskmasters!  The ethic rubbed off and Sue combines that a bit of her own magic to single-handedly turn many Consultant’s careers around.

Suzanne is our longest suffering….we mean serving employee. Running the office behind the scenes like a well-oiled machine, she is the go to girl for everything from advertising to running training courses.

A humanities graduate, Suzanne spent 2½ years with a below the line marketing agency getting first-hand experience of agency life.  Suzanne’s client servicing and organizational skills are exemplary and she has a list for EVERYTHING. Literally.

Maddy, Suzanne’s beloved Bernese Mountain Dog loves taking her for walks – unfortunately Maddy was unable to attend the photo shoot due to camera shyness so we brought in her understudy!

Being the man of the house Ian has a lot on his shoulders, but fortunately with all the squash and cycling and football that he talks about one day doing, he has the mind of an athlete who is ready to take on the world.

When it comes to recruitment Ian’s big ears are perfect for listening to the needs of candidates and clients – his focus is in house marketing, PR and digital across the Home Counties.  His recent successes have included an International Marketing Manager for an expanding technology company, through to a regional Head of Digital Marketing for a global FMCG company – a great variety!

So if you’re a marvelous Marketing Manager, a PR professional or Web Marketing whizz anywhere from Kent to Hampshire or Berkshire to Essex then Ian is the recruiter for you.

Nicola Adcock

When Nicola started in recruitment her tools of the trade were Tipex and a fax machine – how times have changed!  Having established herself as a professional and highly successful Recruiter, Nicola came into the business to run the hugely busy PR desk at Taylor Made. Nicola recruits across all levels and sectors for a number of London’s top PR agencies.

Having worked across Media, HR, Finance and IT this has given Nicola a varied understanding of different sectors and cultures, which is a great benefit to both candidates and clients. Her client base boasts a lovely mix of specialist boutique agencies through to global networks.

In Nicola’s spare time, if she isn’t making soups, she is making (or trying to make) cakes….so, when it comes to delivering the perfect recruitment solution; she always knows the right ingredients to offer!

Jen strutted her way in to the Taylor Made offices with 3 years recruitment experience under her belt. She successfully runs the Marketing, Advertising and Digital desk for agencies in London, across both client services and creative/design.

Prior experience includes being an in-house recruiter for a local marketing agency and then working within one of the UK’s leading Aerospace and Defence recruitment consultancies. Whilst she enjoyed recruiting Engineers she missed the creative industry so prepared herself for take-off and started with Taylor Made.

Jen’s middle name is ‘persistent’ you won’t find a better recruiter to fill your vacancy or find you a brilliant new job! Jens favourite things to do are: belly dance, eat chocolate and fluff over her very small diva dog, her dislikes include spiders, marmite and people who don’t spell PowerPoint correctly.

Best by name and undoubtedly best by nature Alexia is the brains behind Taylor Made’s medical and healthcare communications offering.  If Einstein had needed a recruiter he would have called Alexia!  With a degree in Clinical Psychology and three years pharmaceutical recruitment under her belt you'll be hard pushed to find someone with more understanding or passion recruiting in the healthcare industry.

With Alexia its pharma by day and farmer by night, with a passion for the homegrown she nurtures her clients and candidates as keenly as her prize winning marrows!

The mother figure of the business, Taylor Made Recruitment would be not function without Isabel - quite literally, as she gives us our pocket money! She spent a number of years working within a prestigious London Accountancy firm before joining us as our Finance Manager. Isabel runs our accounts like a military operation, making sure there are lots of black numbers in her book and no red ones – a technical term she often uses.

Alongside her role as a Finance Manager, Isabel also wears many other hats for Taylor Made Recruitment including Gardener (reprimanding the team when we forget to water the plants) and Sweet Provider (there is never a shortage of sweets in the office).  In her free time, she spends far too much time looking after her kids and running the house – so you’ll often see her stuck behind an ironing board!
