About Hargreaves Hub – Built from Experience, Led by Passion
Hargreaves Hub was born from a desire to do things differently—to build a business that puts people first, creates real impact, and helps businesses and entrepreneurs thrive with confidence.
My journey started in recruitment back in 2002, working in high-street agencies. But the “bums on seats” commission-driven model never aligned with me. I wanted to truly transform businesses, so in 2007, I moved into internal recruitment—one of the biggest highlights of my career. I saw first-hand how hiring the right people could completely change a business.
But after being made redundant three times in a row, I knew it was time for something new. In 2017, I took the leap and created Hargreaves Recruitment.
Why Hargreaves?
The name is in honour of my late Grandfather, Keith Hargreaves—a man who embodied hard work, integrity, and kindness. Having a business in his name is not just a legacy—it’s a constant reminder of why I do this.
Over the years, my passion for helping businesses hire & retain talent evolved into something even bigger.
I qualified as a business coach, and alongside helping companies attract, hire, and retain staff, I now coach solopreneurs and entrepreneurs in business & mindset.
Why? Because I live and breathe self-development and personal growth. I know that the right strategy means nothing without the self-belief, confidence, and clarity to take action.
That’s why in 2024, Hargreaves evolved again—into something even more powerful.
