The most essential asset of any company is the people it employs. We believe that this important understanding, coupled with a constant striving to be the very best at what we do, is what has made Ellis Fairbank one of the most innovative and fastest growing recruitment brands in the UK (achieving 47th place in the UK Sunday Times Fast Track 100).

Ellis Fairbank was established in 1991. Since then, we have been driven by the same underlying ethos: to attract, retain and develop the very best people for our own and clients’ businesses. With 15 years of success behind us, we have been able to evolve and grow organically, steadily broadening our reach and expertise across 6 continents worldwide. Our range is now unrivalled, taking in many disciplines and levels ranging from administrative support to senior boardroom appointments across multiple market sectors.

In addition to a head office in Leeds, we have branches in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Strasbourg and Paris, employing a total of 200 individuals and can demonstrate proven success of recruiting across the diverse cultures and economies of over 35 countries across the globe.

A graduate of Tours Business School of Management, I started working in the FMCG industry where I had both sales and management experience in companies like Masterfoods. As a true developer, I have more than 7 years experience in developing business for B to B and B to C international key accounts, opening new markets, and building up new retail channels.
Beginning 2005, I created my own company as a commercial distributor for foreign companies who invest in France.
In October 2006, I joint Ellis Fairbank team in Strasbourg. Native French speaker, I am fluent in English and German.
