In 2002 after (too many!) years in PR recruitment, some spent as MD for another firm, Colette hooked up with Emma to start Prospect. Colette now runs the UK business and along with her brilliant team, works with some of the best brands and agencies in PR.

The delights of smart phones mean that even when she is with the kids, or sneaking in a skinny latte, work is always in her back pocket. Colette is constantly on hand to roll up her sleeves to take a brief, advise a candidate or plot the next Prospect adventure. She is very happy being considered a ‘northerner’ despite being from the Midlands. But since when did the small issue of geography matter?

The London team have been with us for quite some time, which means they have an in-depth knowledge of the industry and can give valuable counsel. Whether it’s a graduate looking to make their debut or a CEO working out their next move, we love sharing our expertise and guidance. And of course, we mustn’t forget the clients. Due to the stability of the London team and because they know their stuff, we are pleased to be working alongside some of the most interesting agencies and fascinating organisations out there, some for quite a long time. They know that we understand their business and of course what they do, day in, day out. And some of those graduates we talked about? Many of them are now the CEOS we talked about. So it literally goes full circle meaning we like to think we help keep the wheels of the industry quite literally, turning.
