Marilyn is another good example of successful skills transfer. Having enjoyed an exceptional business development career in the professional catering industry, initially in South Africa and then in the UK, she moved into recruitment with equal effectiveness. Her intimate knowledge of all aspects of the food and hospitality sectors has enabled her to understand precisely the requirements of clients in the soft services industries and match appropriate candidates to specific roles with unusual efficiency.

Marilyn�s professionalism is based on a strong academic background allied to a warm and engaging personality. After graduating with a BA degree from Natal University in South Africa, she was selected by Unilever to join its internationally recognised marketing program. This exposure to the world of FMCGs was followed by travel through Europe and the United States. Joining Anglo American�s start-up industrial catering business, her selling abilities helped this company become one of Southern Africa�s major professional food service operations. This led to Marilyn being head hunted into the UK where further success followed before she decided to move into recruitment in 2006. Here Marilyn has found her metier with an instinctive talent for networking and an acute understanding of the requirements of senior management roles. Her proven ability to find suitable candidates extends into the wider field of facilities management including the corporate, healthcare and education sectors where her record is impressive. Marilyn loves what she does and it shows.
