Recruitment & retention

Gamekeeper turned poacher – Goldteam recruits client’s HR Manager as new General Manager

by Personnel Today 7 Oct 2009
by Personnel Today 7 Oct 2009

Karen Furminger, previously HR manager with New England Seafood has joined Goldteam Recruitment as their new General Manager.   “I had been looking for a new challenge and having audited Goldteam as a recruitment supplier on many occasions, I just couldn’t fault them – so I decided to join the team. In a sector where recruiters’ standards can often be questionable to say the least, Goldteam really stood out in terms of both their ethical standards –and their unshakeable commitment to compliance and worker welfare.”

Karen, who is Chartered member of the Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), has an impressive HR track record having occupied roles at Tesco including Training Manager and Store Personnel Manager. 

Commenting on the appointment, Managing Director of Goldteam Naveed Ahmed said: “Karen’s HR experience will be invaluable – her insight into what HR functions are looking for from a recruitment supplier will help us to improve our service even more.”
