Meet Liz, the visionary Managing Director and founder of Mpeople Recruitment. Liz's journey to success is a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for the industry. She embarked on her career at the Manchester Tie & Scarf Company, where she started as a YTS trainee manufacturing corporate ties, scarves, and business wear. It was here that she gained her first sales experience, laying the foundation for her future in recruitment.

In October 1986, Liz took her first steps into the world of recruitment, setting the stage for a remarkable career. Her drive and determination led her to establish Mpeople Recruitment as a division of Major Recruitment Limited in January 2007. In a true display of her leadership and acumen, the company achieved a remarkable £1 million turnover in its very first year of operation.

Liz's commitment to understanding the human element in recruitment is truly extraordinary. She qualified as an NLP practitioner in 2007, demonstrating her keen interest in emotional intelligence and the ability to unlock an individual's potential. Her expertise extends to Kolb's Learning Styles, which she skillfully combines with True Colors personality tests to gain deep insights into what motivates people, the environments in which they thrive, and the job roles that bring them fulfillment.

Liz is not just a leader by title but a hands-on leader in every sense. She keeps the team motivated and ensures that the core values of our organisation are brought to life daily. Her boundless enthusiasm and unshakeable belief in the power of recruitment have made Mpeople Recruitment a thriving hub of talent, where the potential of individuals is realized, and dreams are transformed into reality. Liz is the heart and soul of our organization, leading us toward excellence with every step.

"I have worked with Liz for over fifteen years. During that time she has identified, vetted and proposed many candidates, in a wide variety of roles, who have gone on to become valued employees and assets to the business. Liz is a fountain of knowledge on all aspects of HR and recruitment and as such, she has been both a valuable source of information and advice. her team at Mpeople reflect her high professional standards and her 'can do' attitude. Despite many, many approaches over the years i have always stuck with Liz and Mpeople, safe in the knowledge that she knows my operation almost as well as I do and will never present a candidate unless thye are a fit for my business"
