Experience & background

Having started my career out in customer service, I wanted to find an industry that I can really drive success within a business and helping find the right people for the right companies is paramount to business success. To provide the best service within a market you need to have investment from the workplace, experienced and driven people around you and extensive knowledge within the market you operate in, Omega is exactly that.
As a keen sportsman , playing cricket avidly and supporting the best team in Yorkshire (Leeds) this collaborates my success of being able to push harder to find the right solution for my partners that I work with to gain success.

I’ve lived in Australia for 2 years being lucky enough to have played cricket out there.
