With 25 years industry experience Fiona has worked across Temp, Perm, Account Management and Branch leadership. Fiona is a member of the RCSA (Recruitment Consulting and Staffing Association) and is a current NZ RCSA councillor.
Fiona has a keen interest in youth education and employability and has previously volunteered her time supporting such initiatives as the Youth Employability framework developed by Comet Auckland. YEP, is designed as a link between education, business, and youth to make it possible for all 14–24-year-olds to gain the insight, confidence, and skills to get work, keep work and create careers. It is now run by Youth Town. https://www.youthtown.org.nz/youth-employability
May 2017 - Dec 2019 Fiona was a volunteer Trustee for the Youth Development Trust Hawkes Bay operated Under Licence from Graeme Dingle Foundation. The Graeme Dingle Foundation aims to inspire all school age New Zealand children to reach their full potential through programmes that help build self-esteem, promote good values and which teach valuable life, education, and health skills. Fiona still volunteers behind the scenes doing social media for Hawkes Bay as & when required.
Fiona has always been a passionate advocate for disadvantaged and marginalised members of our communities. Prior to her relocation to Napier, Fiona spent 14 months, on a weekly basis, at Auckland Women's Correctional Facility as a mentor for incarcerated New Zealand women working closely with Annah Stretton's foundation RAW (Reclaim Another Women). She maintains a close connection to many of the women that she supported and continues to advocate for the game changing work RAW is achieving. Fiona was appointed to the RAW Board in 2022.
Fiona and John relocated to Wellington in 2023 after 6 years in Hawkes Bay and remain actively involved on a daily basis in the business working on it ... not in it!
