our management team

Andrew Hartley

After graduating from Surrey University, I joined one of the top national recruitment agencies. Those first 10 years covered a variety of roles, the final 5 of which were as Regional Director for the South, running 13 busy recruitment offices. Armed with this experience I took the opportunity to start an independent agency with the aim of setting new standards in Southampton and the surrounding area. I am very proud that since opening in 2007 we have built up many fantastic relationships with local employers and candidates and have fast become Southampton's busiest agency - being awarded the Best Independent Recruitment Agency in Hampshire for the last 3 years in a row have have been a great acknowledgment of the team's hard work over the last 17 years! Most of my time out of work is spent with my 12 and 10 year old kids who are a source of constant fun. In any spare time I love to get outdoors and set challenges for myself. The biggest and proudest to date was cycling 800 miles in a week as wingman to Francis Benali in his 7 Ironman Triathlons in 7 days IronFran challenge. Being a part of #Teamfran was a unique experience and led by Fran we achieved the goal of raising £1m for Cancer Research UK.

Emma Hoskins

I graduated in Sports Science, with all the good intentions of a career in sport. However, I realised I was never going to be a World Champion, so needed to find a proper job! After working for a travel company and an office equipment reseller, I walked into a recruitment agency, loved what I saw and the rest is history! I spent 9 fantastic years working for a national agency and made it into the top 10 consultants. I was then promoted to run my own branch which I took from strength to strength for 3 years (the highlight was personally being nominated as account manager of the year by a major national client!). In December 2007 I jumped at the chance to join Andrew with his venture and am really proud to be part of such an exciting company. I now work part-time as I have two girls, so most of my spare time is spent chasing after them! I am very sociable and enjoy sport, especially watching rugby. I also go to the gym to try to counteract my love of food.
