About

Formerly a librarian, Lynne fell accidentally into group recruitment, the role was, then as now, the world’s best-kept secret!
In 1984, at a training day run by QRS, Lynne met Marilyn,; for 32 years they worked as a team recruiting groups in Nottingham. In 2016 Marilyn retired, Lynne soldiered on.
At a Fieldwork conference run by Acumen in October 2013, Julie Fuller announced her idea for a Recruiter Accreditation scheme. Lynne volunteered to become involved; this eventually was taken over by the MRS/AQR and Lynne has been on the working party from its inception. She is proud that she was the first independent recruiter to take the Recruiter Accreditation, managing to gain a Distinction. In recognition of her work she was made a Certified Member by the MRS.
A member of The ICG for many years, Lynne is a longstanding Committee member and runs their Knowledge Share events monthly.
Away from work Lynne loves the “Great American Songbook” and musical theatre (watching not performing!) and especially the works of Stephen Sondheim. For 25 years she was the Administrator of The Stephen Sondheim Society and is the proud owner of several pieces of manuscript that Steve created especially for her.
