Who We Are

Nigel

Prior to entering the world of executive recruitment in 1997 I worked in hospitality management, running hotels & health clubs for many years giving me a strong empathy and grass roots understanding of this field.

I strongly believe that as long as people understand the company purpose and why they are employed then they should be given some leeway to perform.  Running my own business has given me that leeway, on which I thrive every day of the week.

In the past 14 years I have introduced many of today’s leading executives to their current roles. Establishing Sapsed Stevens back in 2006 has given me the flexibility to offer a client what they want, rather than what someone else might prescribe.

I have a direct approach and have built my network of contacts based on my strong belief that integrity is king. Sometimes that feedback may not be the easiest message to receive, but I like to be considered as a consistent sounding board.

Hospitality is my world.  I have worked in the hospitality sector my whole career from sales & marketing, event organising and more latterly recruitment & training. I have worked in hotels, on racecourses, at royal palaces, large scale catering contracts, sporting events - you name it ?

Moving into recruiting for a hospitality sector agency back in the late 90’s was a natural step for me, enabling me to mix my knowledge of hospitality with my sales & recruiting skills. 

Quite simply, I love what I do, and am lucky to have a job doing what I do best! Searching for people, engaging people and organising people!

Sapsed Stevens began when Nigel and I identified our niche and I am pleased to say that in the last 6 years we’ve never looked back.

I carry out or organise all of the research work and make initial contact with the majority of our prospective candidates, I then mange the processes in the office whilst Nigel is out and about interviewing and meeting with our clients.
