Rachel Trotman - Partner
Rachel graduated from Brighton University with a BA (Hons) in 2000. Her initial career in sales of fine art initiated her interest in consultative services, and she moved into recruitment 5 years ago. She started her own desk with an independent agency working in the Midlands technical and manufacturing industry, providing the challenge of a declining sector with many skills shortages. Finding the right people to meet client’s needs often required hard work and a creative approach to attracting candidates. In 2007 she moved to a larger independent company, and was promoted to Senior Consultant after three months. She mentored a team and developed successful relationships with clients at major blue chip companies, whilst working on a full range of vacancies from graduates to headhunting assignments for senior management vacancies. Rachel joined the f1 partnership in 2009 having moved to London. She is currently on maternity leave until January 2011.
