I've always admired ACR for its reputation, built on the loyalty and confidence of both candidates and clients. Joining such a well-regarded and successful agency felt like a natural choice. What I love most about ACR is its perfect balance of tradition and innovation—staying true to values like service and relationships over profit, while embracing cutting-edge technology to stay ahead in the marketplace. It’s this combination that makes ACR such a dynamic and forward-thinking place to work.

As a Mum to 3 Children and Nanna to my little 1 year old Grandson Arthur, most of my spare time is spent with family and I wouldn’t want it any other way.  Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year – I love the lights!  My favourite quote encapsulates my approach to everything – “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” – Maya Angelou

Having worked in the Cambridgeshire Recruitment market for over 30 years, a few names stand out and ACR/Anne Corder is one that I always associate with quality.

Working in a culture which values honesty, integrity and professionalism is essential for me and I am excited to be working with a fantastic team that reflect these attributes.

I have always loved the HR market and ACR has such an outstanding reputation in this sector – I am looking forward to continuing to expand my network throughout Cambridgeshire.
