What I love about my current role

Seeing aspiring recruiters turn into successful businesspeople.

Outside interests

Amateur dramatics and music. My two most recent roles were the Phantom in "Panto of the Opera" and an Elf in the chorus of the brilliant "Stone of Dreams" musical. I am also an avid guitar player/singer - mostly parties and open mike do's these days.

Something not many people know about you

I am the father of Chick, the Swiss based international singer/songwriter (Birth name Mandy Atkinson) and cousin of Ron Atkinson former Manchester United manager. 38 years as a league table tennis player now retired. Never made it to the top but loved the challenges. I am also very proud of my entries in Who's Who in Recruitment and Who's Who in Britain's Business Elite.
