Kirsty Rowan

I created Into Ophelia’s Garden as a way to sell my sculptures and vintage items that I source from within Germany. I am fully responsible for the maintenance and content creation of the website, online store, social media platforms and marketing. I also source and create the products and drive all sales and customer enquiries.

Performing at events and festivals all over the world, this eccentric, dazzling and ever evolving company is based in Europe, and is well respected in the industry. Regular festivals include giants like Glastonbury, and I was also a performer at the recent 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Based in the centralized E.ON Global Recruitment Services office in Berlin, I was responsible for recruiting staff within the HR, Strategy, Corporate Affairs and Regulation sectors within E.ON UK. This role required me to maintain excellent working relationships with Hiring Managers across the UK, to manage a high volume workflow and work in accordance to strict company policies and procedures surrounding compliance and quality of service.

Senior Recruitment Consultant for the UK's largest specialist Food Recruitment Agency. Specializing in sales roles across mid to senior levels, I regularly recruit BAM's, NAM's, Commercial Managers, BDM's, and Sales Executives within the food industry. Clients range from manufacturing, wholesale, foodservice and retail (independents up to top 4) across the UK. I also looked after our in house recruitment, successfully placing a number of DR Newitt staff members.

Specialising in sales, marketing and administration roles across all levels, and over a broad range of industries, my priority is to ensure that not only is the brief met, but both the client and the candidate are happy. In addition to recruitment, I also wrote recruitment articles for SMAART's blog, and was responsible for the social media content.

Managing, training and retaining a team of ten direct sales representatives, selling energy solutions in the field. Meeting sales targets and providing ongoing training to the team were key. I also undertook the role of recruiter for my team, in order to source the best possible performers.
