About me
Before founding GCB Recruitment, I started my working life many years ago at the age of 16 at Barclays Bank. After 5 years in banking, I started my career in Estate Agency working for the likes of Spicerhaart and Countrywide.
After over a successful decade in Estate Agency I moved into recruitment until 2010, when I took the step of starting GCB Recruitment from my spare bedroom! Since that moment I’ve never looked back.
When I not running GCB you’ll find me on a plane to Dubai, still checking my work emails! Or supporting my home team of Norwich City FC.
Joined GCB: 2010
Something you might not know: While working for Abbotts Countrywide as a Branch Manager, I appeared in BBC’s ‘Escape to the Country’. In my younger days, I also had trials for Bristol City FC and Cambridge United FC.
Where i cover
I'm responsible for recruiting for all of the sectors (property, financial services, land & new homes, construction & technical) internationally.
Often our clients look for candidates who have UK experience, therefore, I recruit through the whole of the UK on behalf of our international clients.

Posted 5 months ago Avoid conducting a bad interview
It’s not always a candidate’s fault when a job interview goes south. Hiring managers can also be to blame!

Posted 7 months ago Answering “Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?”
Personally, I hate this interview question whenever I’ve been interviewed in the past but now as an interviewer, I understand it’s purpose. But for those of you still undergoing the interview processes, you may share the same feeling I used to have back when I was a job seeker. When you get asked...
