“Oakleaf Partnership are well named. Why? Because they have truly acted as partners in all our HR recruitment activities. They get right what so many others get wrong and are real talent spotters. We know that we will only get a shortlist of candidates who match the spec or we have agreed to take a chance with, and this is essential in busy times when no-one has time to waste in getting the right person on board.”

Nicola Grimshaw, Chief executive officer

Nicola Grimshaw

After graduating from Nottingham University, I trained and qualified as a chartered accountant with Arthur Andersen, working with them for over 12 years in both London, the Czech Republic and Australia.  Nearly 15 years ago I decided to move into recruitment –running businesses for Michael Page in both Sydney and the UK.  I then spent six years with Digby Morgan, as part of the Director team leading the growth and development of the business.  I have a passion for recruitment – knowing that to be successful, you should treat others as you would like to be treated yourself – and  I have enjoyed developing strong relationships with clients and candidates over the years.   

I am also Non-Exec Director for the British Association of Sports & Exercise Science and a Board Trustee for the Child Bereavement Charity.  I love watching sport and am also a regular gym go-er.  I manage a couple of half marathons a year.  I like to wind down by working on my allotment, cooking the produce at home.. or eating out at great restaurants.
