Who We Are

Annette Alchin FIRP

Annette is the proud Founder and Owner of Miles Recruitment Ltd (named after her maiden name).

She has over 30 years of working hands on in the recruitment industry with an accomplished track record managing both National and Boutique recruitment companies, recruiting across both temporary and permanent positions across all sectors. Annette has a particular interest and flair for the Engineering, Industrial and Manufacturing sectors as well as being an expert in transport & logistics, being a CPC holder (Transport Management).

When not with her head in the business, Annette, is known for her community spirit. Be that keeping an eye out for elderly residents in her local community or founding and pulling together a formidable team of volunteers to 3D print some 20,000 plus face visors under the name of Shield Wiltshire during the 1st Lockdown 2020. She is also kept entertained by her family, 3 boys, fur baby and her love of 80's music.

Nicola Barr

Nicola has over 22 years of specialised recruitment expertise, predominantly supporting Managing Directors, CEO’s, CFO’s and FD’s with executing their hiring strategies and managing their recruitment campaigns for all areas of the business that they hold remit for.

As our Divisional Manager, she leads on permanent and fixed term contract hiring for our clients, across all sectors and disciplines and as an ex- Management Accountant, she has a genuine interest and understanding for the Finance and Accountancy arena, and how this important area fits with within the business.

When not recruiting, her other love is spending time with her family walking their labrador up in the hills and out in the countryside of Wiltshire and surrounding areas and with 3 children keeping her on her toes, she squeezes in the occasional run.

 

Jessica Walder

Jessica has 17 years of management and leadership experience predominantly secured in the care industry, which is a highly regulated and complex sector.

She joined Miles Recruitment in 2019 as an Administration Assistant, where her fantastic and transferrable skills set were quickly recognised, and she became the Executive Assistant for our leadership team. As part of Jessica's remit, she looks after compliance, administration, and marketing.

Having an active family means Jessica spends a lot of time between, rugby and football and in her spare time, Jessica volunteers as a swim coach for her local club and her 'escape' and 'relaxation' time is spent gardening and with her Labrador.





 

Kathy Appleton

Kathy has over 17 years of experience within the recruitment sector running a successful temporaries desk. She dedicates herself to filling temporary assignments, including critical roles to ensure business continuity for our clients.

Working across a varied range of companies in size and turnover, and a wide range of domestic and labour intensive hires, Kathy has developed positive and long lasting relationships which has resulted in continuous and repeat business for Miles. Particular strengths are within hospitality, manufacturing, transport logistics and industrial recruitment.

When not at work you will find Kathy spending time baking the most gorgeous cakes and treats and walking her beloved dog Nieve.

Jenna Bell

Jenna brings to the Miles team, 5 years experience within the commercial recruitment sector and as a 360 consultant, she has managed the entire recruitment process and full candidate management. She has also managed contact centre teams of up to 15 people and has handled multiple projects in a support capacity in the past, which have honed her organisational and communication skills.

With Customer Service centric to all Jenna's positions held including her recruitment career, she is well practised in providing a 1st class service to the people that she comes in contact with via all methods of communication.

Jenna will be focussed on Candidate Management and Talent attraction across all sectors, supporting the Lead Consultants here at Miles and we couldn't be happier to have her on board.

In her spare time, Jenna loves spending time with her young family and is known to enjoy a good Pinot. A girl after our own heart.
