The branch currently specialises in recruiting for the hospitality and catering sectors and from January is introducing an industrial section.
Karen has ten years’ experience in recruitment with Staff Force, and prior to that Transline Group and Flex Recruitment Plus Ltd.
Before moving into the recruitment industry, she spent 25 years as a regional manager for Thomson, the travel firm.
The mother-of-two, who also has a grandson, said: “I am loving it at Berry Recruitment.
“The directors have an ethos which promotes initiative and it is an enjoyable company to work for.
“I am building up the branch and am always looking for good consultants. There is a huge emphasis on training at Berry and this investment in the staff really makes a difference.
“The region is buoyant at the moment and we anticipate growth through next year.”
Originally from Crawley in Sussex, Karen moved to Leicestershire 25 years ago.
Berry Recruitment Group (BRG) has 30 branches across England and Wales and anticipates a turnover this year approaching £60m.
