I fell into the job – I knew I wanted to do recruitment after I finished university and ended up cold calling through all of the companies in Leeds every morning. I got rejected pretty much all the time. Then a small start-up took a chance on me and I am still incredibly grateful to Langton Howarth for taking a risk on me. It was a great place to learn the ‘old school’ way.

The impact it has on the end user – seeing how much a specific technology has evolved is also pretty cool. When I first started in 2010 NGS was in it’s infancy still and now to see what companies are developing in the Genomics and Proteomics areas is outstanding.

Tough one, possibly for a start-up as my personality suits that culture better – Maybe OWKIN.
