Meet the Team

Zoe started her career at MVP over 24 years ago, working within the technical support and research team. She quickly progressed through the consultancy ranks, gaining experience across all disciplines within supply chain recruitment and progressing into the role of Principal Consultant.

In 2020, Zoe moved into her current position at The Logistics Partnership, as Head of Resourcing and Talent. This was a brand-new role for our business, created in response to the UK’s ongoing talent shortage. Within this role, Zoe focuses on sourcing and delivering the best candidates for our client base across the MVP and TLP Recruitment brands, as well as identifying and attracting new talent into our own business as part of our strategic growth plans. 

In her spare time, Zoe is a dedicated supporter of animal rights; having been a vegetarian from a very young age (and the last 5 years vegan). In addition to this she is also a very crazy cat lady!

After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, Nick worked in a variety of financial roles for FTSE companies before moving to the recruitment sector, joining Empresaria Group plc in 2000.

As Finance Director and later Head of the Group’s UK Businesses, Nick played a major part in the Group’s growth from a collection of UK recruitment businesses with sales of less than £10m to an AIM listed International recruitment Group with Operations in nearly 20 countries across 4 continents with revenues of over £200m. He played a major part in a large number of business acquisitions and disposals, the initial AIM IPO and a subsequent fundraising before leading the successful MBO of The Logistics Partnership from Empresaria.

Since the MBO in 2011, Nick has divided his time between The Logistics Partnership and Orchard Joint Ventures, fulfilling the role of CFO for the companies as well as providing operational and non-executive support to suit the needs of each business. 

Nick also has a musical history playing in bands in his youth and still plays guitar, sings, writes and produces his own music.

Rachel has worked in the learning and development profession for 17 years, working in a variety of different sectors including financial services, adult education, and HR consultancy.  She is a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) as well as a qualified Psychometric Practitioner in Thomas International’s full suite of assessments.

Rachel’s role as Head of Learning and Development is to support our two specialist Logistics and Supply Chain recruitment brands, TLP Recruitment and MVP Recruitment & Talent Solutions. Led by Rachel, The Logistics Partnership provide solutions that use psychometric assessments as part of blended coaching and learning programmes; helping to provide support and guidance to clients and candidates in unlocking the potential of an individual and/or team. Psychometric services provide feedback on behavioural characteristics, aptitude, and personality; making it easier to understand for an individual and the business, which in turn helps eliminate bias and improve communication, recruitment, diversity, development, and retention.

As you might expect, Rachel is passionate about learning and development, and is extremely proud to have achieved her 18-month CIPD diploma a few years back, all whilst going through redundancy and starting a new full-time job in a different field with a baby and toddler in tow!

Rachel is a lover of positive quotes and affirmations, with her favourite one coming from Steve Jobs:

“Learn continually – there’s always “one more thing” to learn!”
