ADVERSA - Key Persons
With extensive previous recruitment experience, Daniel hit the ground running in January 2021 as an addition to our Social Care desk. Sourcing Care Assistants and Support Workers daily, whilst also co-ordinating shifts for existing candidates, Daniel can cope under pressure with a high volume workload with great professionalism.
Favourite Value: Transparency. When I speak with candidates and clients, I like to be clear and honest with the job specification, hourly rates, fees, location and all the requirements that they need to meet.
Hobbies: Walking the dog in the middle of nowhere, hiking and socialising with people.
Freddie joined our ranks in March 2023 after a career as aprofessional footballer! Playing for teams like Luton, Bristol City and Wrexham, we consider ourselves lucky not to have missed the transfer window with Freddie! Now working within our Qualified Social Work Team, Freddie is helping match some of the best Social Workers on the Market with their dream jobs.
Favourite Value: Team work. Coming from a background of sport, I've learned that the best working teams tend to get the best results. Teams that work well are fun environments to be involved, you naturally breed positivity and want to work better and harder when everyone is working to the same goals.
Hobbies: I still kick a football around (When my body lets me) and have a new found enjoyment of using a gym. I also enjoy swinging a golf club around on a sunny day and definitely look forward to my post round pint!

Alongside his wife Katie, Mark founded Adversa Recruitment in May 2017 with a vision to provide a "world-class customer service" for both candidates and clients.

While always cracking a joke and raising spirits in the office, Mark is a passionate leader of the Sales side of the business and encourages everyone to work hard and smash our targets.
Favourite Value: Hard-Work. From a young age, I was taught that all I needed to succeed was half a brain and the ability to work harder than everybody around me… so far, I'm hoping that it has worked!
Hobbies: I enjoy having a laugh and living life to the fullest! And one of my favourite hobbies is annoying my wife and three children with my hilarious jokes and trying on every occasion to bring a smile into their lives! I also enjoy beating both Lewis and Freddie at golf, definately one of my favourite past times...
Alongside Mark, Katie founded Adversa in May 2017 and is responsible for the Compliance Department, the Accounts Department, and the general running of the business. She works closely with all teams to ensure that everything runs correctly and efficiently and is always on hand to help out where needed.

Everyone at Adversa knows that Katie is the highly organised brains of the operation, and we all look up to her as a role model, being an incredible Mum and business owner at the same time. One of her many accomplishments is being crowned the Silver Winner for Business Woman of the Year 2021 at the SME Hertfordshire Business Awards!
Favourite Value: Respect. I feel that this is a value that is core to the business as having respect for people - your colleagues, customers, clients, and candidates - is so important in order to achieve success. Having respect for others means listening to their opinions and input, accepting advice, and working together.
Hobbies: In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my son grow and learn new things, as this time is precious, and I don't want to miss anything!

Remy joined our team in September 2022, straight from finishing school with an impressive set of A-Level results.

Remy will be using the knowlege gained in this apprenticeship and her friendly, hardworking attitude to help out our Consultants on every department, gaining a well-rounded wealth of experience.
Favourite Value: Hard Work. Throughout life there has always been people who are quite naturally intelligent and find certain tasks a lot easier than others. Me not being one of those people, I understood the importance of an individual working hard not only to level the playing field, but also to achieve their greatest successes. I know I can achieve anything if I believe it and have the desire to work my absolute hardest.
Hobbies: In my spare time I really enjoy playing with my two puppies, Hudson and Bonnie. I also love a good horror film or drama series to watch at the weekend with a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Stanley joined our squad in June 2021 and has recently become a full-time member of the team! Stanley performs the role of Emotional Support Assistant providing hugs, cuddles and entertainment throughout the day! If another employee is feeling stressed out, then taking Stanley out on a walk is a great way of decompressing!
Hobbies: In my spare time I really enjoy going on long, muddy walks. Rain, snow or sun, it doesnt bother me!! I also enjoy cuddles, some people may call me "needy" but... I prefer the word "loving"... Chasing bubbles is also pretty entertaining!!!
