Joining the Recruitment Industry back in 1997, I spent the first ten years learning my trade and sometimes having to learn the hard way! My early career saw me get the sack, move companies for career progression and being made redundant (not all at the same time, fortunately!), so I’ve had a fairly good exposure into other Recruitment Businesses and the pressures put on people in our Industry.
My redundancy was the catalyst to incorporate JTA and with ten years of working for different companies I was able to take the best bits from the companies I worked with and equally do as much as possible to remove some elements that just didn’t work for me. The primary aim right from the start has been to develop and empower at all levels within the business, which is quite unique within the Industry.
The company name by the way comes from our (Michelle and I) two sons. It seemed the best motivator at the time and still encapsulates our company ethos today, this being one family.
In my spare time I can usually be found in a field with my spaniel and regardless of the weather, donning a pair of wellies!
Having worked in a customer service role for 10 plus years and Education for 10 years, inspired by our children, Thomas and Jacob, Nick and I incorporated Jacob Thomas Associates in 2007 to provide a workplace that develops all.
The team are a delight to work alongside and would probably say that I am focused, driven and determined with high expectations, however, has a good, maybe dry sense of humour, is supportive, encouraging and always needs a cup of tea in hand.
I love the outdoors so gardening and hiking are a passion. Before the big “50” I would like to complete the coast to coast walk, following Wainwrights footsteps. I enjoy researching the history, culture and differing architecture of the countries I visit whilst travelling. For relaxation, reading a good book or watching the latest box office movie is a must and ‘if the hips allow’ a jolly good boogie.
‘I have recently joined JTA as a Trainee Consultant, with almost 4 years experience working within the recruitment sector. My goal at JTA is to become a qualified consultant which would be a step forward in my career. Although I haven’t been with JTA for long, I feel like part of the team already and I’m certain I can achieve my personal goal in a timely manner, with the support of my colleagues. I am very much family orientated, and enjoy cooking Caribbean food in my spare time. My friends would describe me as patient, considerate and talkative. Going above and beyond is what I’m all about’
I joined JTA’s Permanent Division in 2018 as a Resourcer after graduating from university. Since then I have had the opportunity to progress within the company as well as being enrolled onto fantastic training courses to further my professional development.Each day at JTA brings something new, with a fantastic client base and candidates who are an absolute pleasure to work with. We work in a close-knit, friendly environment which cultivates a real sense of camaraderie, and our drive towards quality and continuous improvement is something that really makes me proud to be a part of the JTA family.I’m generally described as being rather dry-humoured with a penchant for witty (at least I think so) remarks. In my spare time I enjoy reading, creative writing and taking my golden retriever for long walks.”
Jacob Thomas Associates is delighted to welcome Hannah Keep, Managing Director of VI International as our appointed external training provider.
‘Hannah has worked closely with our Team here at Jacob Thomas Associates since 2017, providing tailored training which always exceeds our expectations. Hannah delivers an exceptional level of commitment and dedication to our Team and we are thoroughly delighted that she is a key part of our training strategy’
Nick Rawlins Director
I joined JTA in March 2014 as a Business Centre Administrator.
Since the beginning I’m working in payroll department and feeling satisfied in this position.
The priority for me is always to send the right amount to the right account.
You can get in touch with me any Monday, Tuesday or Friday and if necessary we can speak Polish too. I’ll be more than happy to help you.
In my private life I’m a happy mother of two children.
My friends would describe my as a calm person always positively thinking…especially after a cup of good coffee;)
I joined JTA in February 2020 as the Business Centre Administrator which includes payroll. The team have made me feel very welcome and I look forward to the future. Outside of work I enjoy running, spending time with friends and my two boys. My friends would describe me as kind, honest, loyal and funny.
After completing my ‘A’ Levels, I was in a quandary if to study at University. After careful consideration and a long Summer, I was given the opportunity to join the family business.
The Team here at JTA feel like family as I have grown up with them and have made my transition into the workplace seamless, offering support and guidance at every opportunity. I am very excited about what the future holds for me.
In my spare time I love listening to music, the Teskey Brothers are my fave right now, an avid reader of crime/thriller novels, keeping fit, oh and Clay Target Shooting!
