Tell Us About Yourself

I’m Tamryn, a people person at heart with a passion for connecting others with meaningful opportunities. I love a good laugh and believe in always bringing a positive energy wherever I go. I am also a proud mom to a busy (and very
entertaining) 4-year-old who keeps me on my toes!

Please tell everyone about your role and a little bit about your professional background

I am a Talent Resourcer focusing on the Facilities Management and Construction sectors. I have worked in agency recruitment for the past 6 years, building strong client and candidate relationships. I pride myself on being approachable, driven and committed to quality matchmaking – on both sides of the hiring table.

What is the first job you ever had?

My very first job was waitressing at a local pub – I definitely learned patience and people skills, very quickly!

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Spending quality time with my family, experimenting with new recipes (usually something spicy), or binge-watching a good series with a cup of tea.

Dream travel location?

France – whether it is exploring the romantic streets of Paris, relaxing in the South, or enjoying pastries in a little village café – it is definitely at the top of my list!

Favourite movie/book?

Pretty much anything animated – I love the clever adult humour hidden in them. Whether it is Shrek or Despicable Me – I’m all in!

Favourite country visited?

I have only been to the USA so far, but Vegas and Niagara Falls were definitely my favourite destinations – both so different but equally unforgettable!

What is the first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?

Probably a holiday home near the mountains and maybe a plane ticket or two for a once in a lifetime trip!

Hidden talents? (& tell us something about yourself that people might not know!)

I have an impressive memory for song lyrics – 90’s hits, Disney songs, you name it! Something about myself that people might not know: I am always down for a competitive game of 30 Seconds or Monopoly!

What do 300 North do?

What is 300 North all about?

I’m a Principal Consultant here at 300 North specialising in Fire Safety.

Tell Us About Your Professional Background

Fire safety is an industry I’ve been involved in for the past 5 years and am very passionate about. I work with a wide range of clients to introduce Surveyors and Managers onto Fire Safety projects across the UK. I enjoy finding and then working with 'A Game' candidates, introducing them to fantastic clients and finding them roles on projects that suit them and their skillsets.

What Do You Like Doing Outside Of Work?

I enjoy getting to the gym or generally just being outdoors, whether that’s local family walks, bike rides, hikes, getting away for the weekend to the east coast or sitting in a beer garden and enjoying some rare sunshine with a Guinness.

Tell Us Something About Yourself That People Won't Know

I have skydived with the Army’s display team The Red Devils, an experience which I would say everybody should try! I’m also a keen cook!

If You Won The Lottery What Would You Buy?

Tickets to Australia to explore for a few months! We have extended family over there and haven’t yet managed to visit. The weather, beaches, general outdoor lifestyle and regular barbecues are more than attractive!

Navigating PFI Handback: Key Strategies for Successful Contract Completion

The shape of contractual relationships in PFI are changing as many contracts enter the advised 7-year handback window and new teams come in to manage the handback, and personnel are reassigned to meet demand. As the industry completes more handbacks, the aim is to create a central space for data sharing that will provide solutions and best practice models, as well as best practice recommendations for contract completion.
