What do we do?
We place senior level appointments across all modes of transport and are specialists in Passenger transport. We do it with honesty, integrity, compassion, and care.
Why did I set my company up?
I set up www.camilleri-appointments.co.uk because I had a strong desire to use my extensive experience of working for big recruitment companies and apply it differently. I wanted to step away from the need to adhere to a rigid structure and to take the emphasis away from meeting revenue targets. I wanted to understand what organisations and those seeking work needed and I wanted to work with them to come up with solutions they valued and could get the most value from. I also wanted to use my time spent working to maximum effect and to be unashamedly present for my family. I was also keen to champion causes close to my heart on a voluntary basis.
What is the secret to my success in business and advice to anyone considering starting up a company?
Plenty of people who mean well will give you heaps of unsolicited advice when you are at your most vulnerable. Keep your business plan simple and remember there is no one size fits all. Enjoy learning from the highs and the lows and trust your instinct. My business has organically grown since I set it up in 2019. I have genuinely learnt so much through this experience and now have the luxury of being able to pass this on to benefit others. Do not give to receive!
Highlights from 2023
Too many to mention!
Partnering with my executive coaching associate and creating an Executive Accelerator bolt on package they can draw upon as and when needed and designed to help my senior hires get the best start in their new jobs.
Growing my team, I am now developing a locally based associate.
Becoming a mentor for the first time through Women in Transport and now further
committing as a Sponsor.
Acting as an Ambassador to Radical Recruit and using my network to champion their good work.
What does 2024 hold?
I shall be presenting on inclusive recruitment strategies at a conference this April.
I will be presenting an award at a national event in November.
I would not have imagined myself doing these things when I started in 2019.
Being excited about what 2024 holds is an understatement!
