Anna Glapiak

Human Resource Talent Partner

I came to the UK from Italy in search of good food and better weather. Neither of those were found but I decided to stay after meeting the love of my life, with whom I love to spend time either at home, on exotic holidays, or even just a campsite in North Wales.

Without actively looking for it, I was thrust into the recruitment industry and discovered where my talents and passion lay. Originally working with companies across London, I now focus on supporting exceptional HR Talent in securing new opportunities.

If this is the area you need assistance in, you can contact me on 07795 365943.

Kerry Norman

Co-Founder | HR Recruiter

Fresh from University, I fell into recruitment and here I am, 15 years later, heading up Medlock Partners HR division alongside Mark.

Having specialised in Commerce & Industry recruitment for the last 9 years, I have an extensive network and a strong reputation in recruiting Middle Management to Senior Level HR candidates. I genuinely enjoy working with people; whether that’s helping develop careers or adding true value to a business – I still love it after all these years. I thrive under pressure and you can expect an honest, pragmatic approach from me.

Outside of work I can be found mainly cleaning up after my 1 year old son or up a mountain on a hike. I enjoy cooking, drinking ales, spending time with my family and friends, listening to dance music and retreating to my yoga mat (or getting my head in a good book) when I need some time to myself.

What would my business partners say about me?

They’d say I eat and drink weird things including smoothies that are often a very questionable colour.
