Meet the Founder & CEO

I am a creative thinker and a designer of employment solutions that are both time saving and cost effective for employers who are engaging new staff or outsourcing their business administration.

Interests : Family | Competitive Sailing | Food and Wine | Finding Solutions | Yoga and Walking 

I have over 25 years of demonstrated experience working in the Employment Placement and Recruitment Services Industry.  

Anyone that knows me recognises that one of my life passions is competitive yacht racing. This sport requires a high level of communication and teamwork along with patience, leadership skills, the ability to adapt to changing conditions and a competitive nature to succeed.  

Did I say “Adapt to changing conditions”?  It’s now 2024 and 4 years have past since the world commenced living with COVID.  We were all forced to adapt to what they called the ‘new norm’ – how we continued business and also how we worked from home.  We have adapted to the new “Hybrid Work” model which allows partly working in the physical work space and partly remotely – at home or from another work space.  We implemented virtual technologies, new systems and processes which included virtual meetings.  We have all adapted in one way or another and I am sure it has made us wiser and stronger too!  Here at Tempnet, we have embraced the ‘new norm’ with a positive approach to providing the high level of service that has been our trademark for over 25 years.

As CEO and Business Owner, it’s important to me to maintain “being hands on” and operate the business with an innovative approach.  My role is to ensure that we continually provide our customer service promise, delivery standards and outstanding recruitment services to all our clients/employers and candidates.

My strengths include creative thinking, designing and providing flexible employment solutions.  I am always looking for innovative ways that will both be time saving and cost effective for clients/employers seeking a new employee to join their team or requiring to outsource their business administration services.

As a result with over 25 years of experience in the recruitment industry, I have demonstrated my ability to adapt to the ever changing recruitment landscape, continually ensuring that I have current knowledge of employment legislation, employment regulations and current industry awards.

I work closely with my clients/employers ensuring that the entire human resources recruitment operation is carried out smoothly and effectively with the best-possible talent recruited. In doing so, we assess talent objectively, without bias, considering skills, qualifications, and experience in the assessment process.

I have excellent communication and listening skills which are essential during the recruitment process. I always undertake a well managed methodical and thorough approach in managing the full-cycle of the end-to-end recruiting processes and ensure that the process is fluid, and respectful of everyone’s time.
