Meet The Team

Name: Lydia Sinclair 

Job Title: Founder & Managing Director, Client Partner Sussex & Surrey 

I launched ProTalent back in 2009, I personally focus practice recruitment in Sussex and Surrey, and also work in the London markets too. I also head up the team and the general day to day running of the business. 

When I joined ProTalent Ltd: I started ProTalent because I was fed up! In all honesty, I hated how recruitment is so often undertaken, I hated that practice was an afterthought in the ‘accountancy & finance arena’ within the recruitment world and I wanted to specialise and I wanted to do it differently. 

What I’m Proud Of: I have successfully built and grown a practice recruitment consultancy that has absolute clarity of its niche and core values. I have helped countless accountancy practices build, scale and solve their hiring and business challenges. I have helped hundreds of candidates further their careers and secure great roles. And through it all, I have built and strengthened many, many amazing working relationships.

How I Spend My Free Time: I am a very proud mum of beautiful twin girls – so when I am not working, I am ‘Mum-ing’. That can take me from beach walks to cake baking, face painting to dancing, refereeing to teaching! And I love it! 

Fun Fact About Me: I love climbing big mountains, jumping out of planes, scuba diving all over the world – well, in a previous life at least!
