On this week’s episode of The RAG Podcast, I was joined by Toni, the Managing Director of Digital Gurus, a specialist Tech & Digital recruiter with 66 staff across offices in Manchester, London, Bristol and Birmingham.

Toni joined the business as a Senior Consultant 11 years ago. She’d had a successful career in recruitment in Leeds and fancied a change of company and city.

Little did she know when she arrived in Manchester that she would end up managing the whole business!

In this episode we discussed how she: 

• Entered the industry because she knew that earning money was the top priority for her after university. 
• Moved to ReThink Group (DG) and settled in Manchester
• Took on a leadership role and realised that she loved the challenge more than being an individual biller
• Nearly quit to go travelling but was offered the chance to take DG to Manchester and changed her mind
• Has grown into the MD and had 2 children in the same period
• Maintains her family as her priority and is focused on finding a great balance between home and work life
• Is taking the whole of August off work to travel with her kids during the summer!

An inspirational female business leader, we need more examples like Toni to make a positive change in our male dominated industry!
