When I joined Hamilton Barnes in September 2023 as a Network Consultant, I never could have imagined how much I would grow in such a short space of time. Fast forward a year, and I was leading the IP UK team. Now, in 2025, I’m managing my own team and have also expanded into a new market—broadcasting. This journey hasn’t been about luck—it’s been about passion, hard work, and the incredible support I’ve received along the way. At Hamilton Barnes, you’re not just given a job; you’re given the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to carve out your own success. If you’re willing to push yourself, the possibilities are endless. Looking back, I feel incredibly grateful for the challenges that helped me grow, the people who guided me, and the company that has backed me every step of the way. This isn’t just a job—it’s a place where you can truly build your future.

"I joined Hamilton Barnes in 2022 as the first talent acquisition hire. Starting out, I focused on hiring for our UK office, but it became clear that the company's growth needed a broader approach. I was eager to take on the challenge, and the opportunities here allowed me to do just that. Before joining, I completed my degree in Business and Human Resource Management at the University of Portsmouth. This experience equipped me with the essential skills to excel in talent acquisition. I dove into internal recruitment, working closely with departments to build the best teams. The fast-paced environment and ambitious goals of the company kept me motivated. I worked hard to support our rapid expansion, implementing new strategies and refining our processes. Soon, I was building out my team globally, hiring in the USA and APAC regions. This gave me insights into different markets and a global perspective on talent acquisition. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job has been hiring for my own team and witnessing their growth. Seeing them develop their skills and contribute to our success has been incredibly fulfilling. My efforts were recognised, and I was promoted to Global Head of Talent Acquisition.

When I joined Hamilton Barnes, I knew I wanted to be successful—but I never expected to be learning directly from the very best in the business. In most companies, top billers and directors are out of reach for new starters. Here, I had the incredible opportunity to be line-managed and trained by the company’s top biller. Having direct mentorship from someone at the very top gave me insights, strategies, and confidence that I wouldn’t have gained anywhere else. Instead of just being thrown in at the deep end, I had the guidance and knowledge to excel—and it made all the difference. Because of this world-class training and support, I achieved my first promotion within six months by hitting my revenue targets. The growth I’ve experienced in such a short time is something I’m truly grateful for, and it’s proof that at Hamilton Barnes, success isn’t just possible—it’s expected, as long as you’re willing to put in the work.
