Bio
Kate Holroyd
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo, she's one of those people that has time for you, even when she doesn't. She's incredibly savvy and has a knack of helping you hone in on what requirements you have and how to find the best people for the job. I learned a lot during my time working with Jo, not just about recruitment but I looked up to her in how she treated others and managed her time and workload.

Jo has been fantastic to work with and has guided me during my time with Work Solutions, from day one to the point of taking a senior role as a Lead CAE. Having worked within the recruitment sector for a number of years I could instantly identify that Jo had also dealt with employer contracts both SME and national accounts. Her manner is professional at all times, very client focussed and consultative to all employers at every stage. A recruitment/employer engagement professional with a wealth of knowledge who I am always happy to go to for advice and guidance knowing I will come away with the best solutions to hand.
