Matching businesses with great people and connecting talent with fantastic opportunities is my passion.I'm proud to be a partner in Brannigans, based in Christchurch New Zealand and supporting clients across the South Island of New Zealand. At Brannigans we’re experts in executive appointments, human resource (HR) consulting and leadership development. We step away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach. No matter how complex your business, we work with you to understand who you are and what makes you unique. We then deliver clever, tailor-made solutions in recruitment, HR and developing leaders to help you grow your business.My areas of specialty are:Executive search and selection| HR consulting| Governance search and selection| People and business strategy.Although, I was part of the inaugural staff at Brannigans back in 2003, my path through HR has not been a direct one. I have held a variety of roles in different sectors and locations, however the pull of Brannigans was too great, and I returned as part of a management buyout.My collective career background and experiences really helps our clients. My ability to walk in the shoes of my clients makes me a much better consultant as my expertise is based on real life experience, not just theory. I pride myself on being able to find a needle in the proverbial haystack for our clients.I enjoy working with clients, many of whom have become good friends over the years. Often my clients will say I’m more passionate about their businesses than they are! To me it’s always a partnership rather than a client/consultant relationship.As the guys in the office will say, I have a strong sense of humour and I think outside the square. I genuinely enjoy adding value to our clients’ organisations and developing and maintaining long term relationships that allow us to grow together, achieving great outcomes that deliver their organisational goals.
