Email us nowSee AllWandle engaged Ortolan People to design and deliver an assessment centre to support an organisational restructuring we were undertaking in early 2016. From the outset we were impressed by the intelligent and responsive approach Ortolan took to this assignment. They designed a bespoke set of exercises to address our specific requirements and put together all of the elements we needed to enable them to deliver the assessment centre exactly as Wandle required. Their team were professional, always helpful and extremely responsive and they integrated seamlessly with me and my colleagues. It was exactly what we had hoped for and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ortolan to anyone who needs this type of service. They know what they are doing and deliver at a price point which feels like real value for money.
Debbie Chun, Senior Operations Manager, Wandle
I am a solicitor who – as well as having had a 10 year career as a British Army officer – has also run a number of successful businesses. I have worked in large law firms, small start-up businesses and have been the CEO of a NASDAQ listed international leisure company. Drawing on this broad base of experience I co-founded Ortolan Group in 2007, driven by the opportunity to provide innovative and high quality recruitment services at a sensible price point. Today I help to manage the business and also spend a lot of time working as a solicitor with our sister company, Ortolan Legal. Because of my background, I tend to lead on all of our legal recruitment work. I occupy my spare time raising Tamworth pigs and flying.
Having spent most of my working life in Recruitment and HR, I sold my successful Recruitment Business in 2009 to a large national High Street agency. Having missed the recruitment industry too much to stay away! I joined Ortolan in 2013 and I now head up their Permanent Recruitment Division. I live in Cheshire with my husband and unruly pack of 4 very large dogs, and as I don’t work Mondays love to spend long weekends out and about in the countryside with the dogs, and ever so occasionally shopping for handbags and shoes!
After attaining an engineering degree and working for British Gas designing distribution systems, I had a change of career and joined British Aerospace as a computer programmer. I then spent twenty years working for major IT solutions vendors in a range of roles (product and sales support, professional services, technical management), before I had my next change of career into recruitment in 2008, when I moved from South East to Derbyshire. In my spare time I like to explore the Peak District, then reward myself with a pub lunch!
