Who we are

Clare Edwards

Clare’s career in recruitment began as a temp working for various companies.  The excitement of every few days starting a new position within a new company, meeting new people and gaining new skills thrilled Clare and she decided that a role within recruitment was for her.

Clare worked very successfully for a national agency initially as a consultant and was soon promoted to branch manager with seven consultants working for her.  However, in 1998, Clare realised that in this position she was no longer recruiting staff and matching them to assignments anymore.  It was at this time that Regency Recruitment was created!

Clare says ‘We have developed a unique strategy based on the fact we are not sales led but service driven ensuring we deliver the service our customers and staff want and deserve’.

Clare feels privileged to have been able to create a friendly, local agency so that she is able to meet every single customer and temp that Regency work with.  Clare loves that over the years so many customers and temps have come to rely on her when they are in need of help.  

On the rare occasions that Clare is not in the office, she may be enjoying pilates, listening to Jack Johnson or whenever possible escaping to Cornwall.

David Pennels

After 25 years as first class cabin crew with British Airways, David took early retirement and joined us in January 2003.  However, his feet haven't touched the ground since joining Regency Recruitment.  David is a friendly face who can be found out on site, providing support for our temps and customers.

Jo Wickens

Jo has worked at Regency since 2003 having previously run her own restaurant.  Jo has brought her wealth of catering knowledge and experience to Regency Recruitment and has helped us enormously with the training and development of our temps.

Iona Hopkins

Iona joined our team in the summer of 2006 having worked in accounts for most of her career.  Iona juggles paying our temps and sorting out any tax queries with looking after her two children, Robert and Natalie.  We are lucky to have Iona who always has a smile for us and never gives up chasing those timesheets!

Emma Bilous

Emma is our wonderful administrator.  Popping into the office each evening to make sure all of our admin is up together.  Just like an office fairy she sprinkles her magic around the office making sure everything is in place for us to carry on the next day.  Often Emma escapes from being a busy Mum on a Friday when she drops Ben & Meggie off at nursery to help us get everything organised for our weekends of events and promotions.
