Tell us about your previous career experience and how you came to be in the shopping centre industry.

My previous career was in Town Centre Management in the Public sector. The skills I gained here such as project management, financial acumen, problem-solving and thinking outside of the box translated well into the shopping centre sector. Foundation Recruitment identified this and were incredibly helpful and professional in their approach to enabling my sector move. With constant feedback and outstanding knowledge of each business, I felt completely confident in them.
