A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER ANGE

Your Luxury Fashion Recruitment & Career Partner

I am immensely proud of my career in fashion & luxury, I have spent the last twenty years working across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. A passion for retail led me from the shop floor into recruitment – I have recruited both as an agency support, internally as a Global Talent Acquisition Manager and as a hiring manager during my career in National Retail Management and through this I have developed a deep level of expertise in Talent Acquisition and Recruitment specific to the luxury, retail and fashion industries

“Valuing transparency, commitment, quality over quantity and one that holds true luxury expertise”

The Talent Mill was established five years ago and our growth since then has seen us become a trusted partner to leading fashion and luxury houses; it is a reflection of my belief in how a Recruitment Agency should operate – developing, nurturing and honouring relationships, one that values transparency, commitment, quality over quantity and one that holds true luxury, fashion and retail expertise and shares this with generosity of spirit.

My career has taken me all over the globe where I have been fortunate to have partnered with some of the most prominent luxury fashion houses and retail businesses across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and helped thousands of job seekers into life changing roles.

“Ange is one of those instantly likeable and extremely professional people.”

I am a generous people connector, a strategic problem solver – and I believe there is always a solution when it comes to recruitment challenges. I have built high performing, engaged teams as an Agency Recruitment Director, Internal HR & Talent Acquisition Manager, National Retail Manager & entrepreneur– so you can trust that I absolutely understand your perspective.
