Laura Gillespie

Our Founder & Managing Director

Laura Gillespie is our founder and managing director. She is a true “people person” who genuinely cares about delivering a service second to none and is confident that her hard work on your behalf will exceed your expectations.

With a career spanning 30+ years in recruitment, media sales, marketing, and fundraising, both locally and nationally, Laura has a wealth of knowledge and experience in matching the right people to the right roles. She delights in changing people’s lives.

As an experienced people manager, she is passionate about working with businesses to support their recruitment needs by supplying the best people to add value to their organisation.

When she’s not rallying the recruitment troops, you’ll find Laura most at peace in her garden or reading a good book.

Del Rowbotham

Operations Director

After spending 30 plus years in IT server and network support, Del has taken the role of Operations Director in his stride. He keeps the management up to date with his reports and figures ensuring the business is always looking forward.

His knowledge of various systems over the years has been extremely useful in the setting up of our CRM system helping us work smarter and better, keeping our processes running smoothly.

He sees himself as a musician in his down time, playing various instruments although his wife has thoughts about his skill level as do the local cats! When he is being quieter, he can craft a canny looking leather handbag and whittle the occasional spoon.

Emma Bailey

Client Account Executive

Emma has over 20 years’ experience in customer service and employability. Emma will always go above and beyond to ensure everyone she deals with gets the best treatment they deserve.

While Emma is not at work, she loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and little boy, she loves to spend time at the beach and local parks.

She also loves to go on holiday whether it be camping in the UK or jumping on a plane, just general good old family time!

Natalia Lamb

Resourcing Assistant

Natalia has 5 years’ experience in customer service and business admin and is the first point of contact when calling Gillespie Recruitment. She takes great pride in finding the perfect fit for clients, and loves being able to help candidates find new job opportunities!

While Natalia is not at work, she loves spending time with her partner and daughter, she enjoys days at the park watching her have fun.
