Meet the team

Ian Berry

Ian is the founder and principal consultant of Rainford Berry.  He feels that the qualities he brings to recruitment are, on the client side, a tenacious “leave no stone unturned” attitude to finding the best person and with candidates, his keenness to listen to what is important to each individual.  Prior to starting Rainford Berry Ian worked for the excellent Sussex based agency, Accountancy Recruitment Consultants.

Ian’s previous career was in the event industry where he set up and ran a highly respected supplier of temporary structures whose clients ranged from British Airways to Kensington Palace.  Ian sold this business to his management team and the company goes from strength to strength today.  Ian feels that his time in the event industry gave him a strong appreciation of the need for quality customer service and a taste for working weekends! Ian’s interests are socializing with his family and friends and playing and watching various sports.  He does not share any of his wife’s artistic talents!

Aimee Smith

It’s all change for Aimee. A new husband, a new surname and a new job with Rainford Berry!

We are delighted to welcome Aimee on board as a Senior Consultant, specialising in the recruitment of sales staff. Aimee has a very strong background of success, in both recruitment and telecoms sales. Away from work Aimee is all action – a former jockey, she kayaks in the sea and climbs mountains for fun!

With her energy and enthusiasm she is a great addition to our team.

Marie Berry

Marie is the Office Manager and Contract Consultant at Rainford Berry. Marie is responsible for the smooth running of our office and coordinates our temporary and contract staff.  Marie is very popular with our temps as she does such a good job of paying them quickly!

Before Marie joined Rainford Berry she worked as a Personal Assistant, based in New York and travelling extensively.  Prior to that Marie worked in Musical Theatre.  She cheerfully puts up with her husband’s obsession with sport while he silently suffers her obsession with Barbra Streisand!
