Kate Benson , Consultant
I graduated with a Bachelor of Leisure Management from Griffith University in Brisbane Australia in 2005. After university I entered the creative field of Furniture Design and Manufacturing and headed up Sales and Business Development on the East Coast of Australia. After 5 years I decided on a career change. Recruitment was an avenue I wanted to pursue and I haven’t looked back! After a year working in the Financial Sector as a Temp Controller to all the major institutions I made the leap to follow my dream to live and work in the UK before I missed the opportunity!!!
I am so pleased to have joined the Oakleaf family. I will be working alongside Kirstie Taylor and Marie Bliss in the Financial Services team looking after the temporary division where our goal is to take things to a new level and provide exceptional service to both our candidates and clients.
In my spare time I love to socialise with friends, host dinner parties and I have acquired a recent love for Bikram Yoga! I am also looking forward to joining the team in future charity runs – though I think I might start with baby steps... no distances greater than 10km!!!
