Our People

Julie Simmons

Divisional Manager

01403 577973

I'm Julie, the Divisional Manager for Harris Lord Office and Manufacturing brands. As well as being part of the senior management team at Harris Lord, I love the challenge of running this very successful division here at Harris Lord and take great pride in working with our long-standing local clients and candidates.

I have more than 30 years experience in recruitment and have been part of the Harris Lord team since 2011! When I’m not meeting candidates or clients or running the day-to-day operations at Harris Lord, I can usually be found at my desk on the phone with a cup of tea (milk & 2 sugars) and a biscuit. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my young son, and I can’t go without my Sunday roast dinner!

Testimonials

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Harris Lord, particularly Julie, who supported me throughout the process.

From the start, communication was clear and feedback was always honest. I was kept well informed at each stage, especially around interviews, which was reassuring in what can be quite a stressful and anxious process.

What stood out most was how supportive and invested Julie was. She took the time to understand my background, shared helpful prep material and kept things moving with the client. Even after the final stage interview, she made the effort to stay in touch and keep everything progressing, which I really appreciated.

With her support, I’ve secured a permanent role with a large, reputable company. It is a great step forward for me and somewhere I’m looking forward to developing further.

I’d happily recommend Harris Lord to anyone looking for a recruiter who is approachable, responsive and genuinely supportive throughout the process.
