Meet the team
Hi, I’m Grace! I first started in recruitment in 2014 with Essential, previously I have worked in catering and event management. I started as the Branch Administrator and worked up to Senior Recruitment Consultant.
I have recently returned from maternity into a new role in the Essential Professional Recruitment department. During my time I have learned to manage both small and large clients alike. Offering a bespoke service to said clients is so interesting and the development of teams and relationships really drives me.

Emma Coleman

I started with Essential in 2020, progressing into a tailored role that focuses on increasing the exposure of your vacancies to local job seekers, ensures we are providing the most engaging type of content across our social media channels and website to reach the right calibre of people and draw more traffic to our website to apply for your vacancies.
Tom Willimett
Creative Artworker
From joining Essential during 2021, I have introduced a new wave of design work. Not only have I brought in my own style of colourful illustrations and exciting animation, I am also in charge of heading up any film work for both clients and here at Essential.
The main sectors I work in are Industrial and Commercial for both temporary and permanent staff and I love the challenges these areas bring – it really doesn’t matter if it’s a small company looking for just one member of staff or a new set up requiring multiple positions – every client is important.
