Background and experience :
I'm a specialist Mac-focused IT Senior Recruitment Consultant with over 8 years of experience within the sector. I supply candidates from junior bench technicians, 1st, 2nd and 3rd line Apple Mac OSX and Mac/PC IT support roles, through to System and Network Administrators, Mac and Mac/PC Field Engineers, Mac and Multi-Platform IT Consultants, IT Managers, Filemaker Developers and IT Directors.
I specialise in the Mac OSX technical sector, but candidates and positions are rarely exclusively Mac, they invariably include some degree of Windows, Linux or Unix together with other skills and applications, for example, Adobe, VMware, Casper Suite, Final Cut Pro, in a variety of different IT technical environments.
I recruit for a wide range of clients – broadly speaking anyone who is running Macs within their IT network or infrastructure or who themselves provide IT support services to their own client base. I regularly provide both temporary contractors and permanent Mac OSX and multi-platform IT technical staff to media clients including independent and group agencies specialising in advertising, digital, post-production and broadcast. I am also very experienced in supplying IT employees to many publishing environments as well as schools, Universities and colleges and other education providers, financial institutions and Specialist IT Service providers including those who are specifically Apple focused and Apple Authorised.
Interesting fact about me:
A huge fan of both live music and comedy gigs, though generally not at the same time except for the time I went to a “Bad Shepherds” gig even managing to have my picture taken with the very funny and musical Adrian Edmondson! Very much a seaside and warm weather girl at heart, I adore the coast and have been known to dip my toe in the water with both surfing and water-skiing.
