Sue Deaville - Director

My story started over 10 years ago as a trainee recruitment consultant, I then went onto progress to a senior consultant, I was then given the opportunity to open a new start up branch which I grasped with both hands. Having managed 2 successful branches I decided to take the next step of my journey and along with Sam SaferHandCare was born.

We strive to create a welcoming and friendly environment where everyone is welcome and look to provide the best service possible to all.

Sam Baddeley - Director

I began my road to recruitment as a sales advisor where I naturally progressed from an outbound sale advisor to a field sales executive, due to unforeseen circumstances within my family I changed career and began my journey within the care sector as a support worker. This then lead me into my first recruitment role combining both my sales and care experience together. I then found my calling and established myself which led me to having my first branch manager role. Since then a lot has changed and along with Sue we decided to open our first branch SaferHandCare.

Rebecca – Operations Manager

I had my first taste of recruitment working as a temp during the summer holidays whilst home from University. I began as a receptionist and quickly began resourcing, even filling my first vacancy and loving every second of it. I’ve had a varied career since graduating, including support work, banking and media sales but have always been a recruiter at heart! I’m passionate about providing both clients and candidates with the best level of service and love the opportunities that working in recruitment brings to meet new people, making every day different!
