Nicola has recently joined the recruiting world having worked previously in investment banking, management consultancy and more recently energy compliance and sustainability consulting. She is looking forward to learning new challenges and embracing a new more creative role which is more cohesive with her background in art and design.

After working in London, Dubai and Sydney she took several years out of the working world to live in rural France, before moving back to the UK to settle with her young family.

When not spending time with her two daughters, husband and puppy, Nicola can be found in her art workshop painting, sculpting and generally getting messy!

Louise started her career in recruitment working 6 years for a leading London Creative Recruitment Agency and she was promoted to Director.   She left when she decided to move overseas and after a short period working for Bluetree as a Resourcer, she secured Senior Recruitment roles in Hong Kong and New Zealand.  When she returned to the UK she worked as a Client Services Manager before returning to work for Bluetree once more.

After taking a career break to spend time with her son, Louise returned to Bluetree in September 2021 as a Senior Consultant.  Louise loves nothing more than spending time with her son, taking her dog on long walks and is a huge Strictly Come Dancing fan.

After Victoria’s childhood dream of becoming a dancer was curtailed due to injury, she decided to focus her career on the other love of her life – organising!

She retrained to gain her HND in Administrative and Secretarial Procedures and Victoria had various operational and assistant roles which included working with corporate banks, high-net-worth individuals and even a famous face or two!  Her skillset and thoroughness behind the scenes make her the perfect person to undertake the Operations Assistant role joining Bluetree in January 2021.  Her favourite moments are spent with her two young sons; usually caked in mud on various sidelines or on a woodland walk in Surrey!

Sam has worked in accountancy since 1998. She started her training at a small two partner practice in Shepperton then worked for larger practices as a Client Manager, which involved managing several clients’ accounting and tax affairs.

In 2015 Sam decided to bring her large wealth of knowledge from practice into the commercial environment. She qualified with the ACCA in 2009 and became a fellow in 2015 and joined Bluetree in July 2016. Sam, her husband and their daughter enjoy spending time together with days out to the beach.
