Joining the company as a trainee recruiter over 10 years ago, Rob is now our Managing Data Consultant and a Director of trg. Besides Rob’s huge success as a consultant, he really is a man of many talents. He’s a skilled baker – his speciality being chocolate sourdough, trust us it’s as delicious as it sounds. He also loves to keep fit, playing 5 a side football every week and cycling as much as he can. He enjoys visiting the Opera, socialising, and trying to convert everyone to support his beloved Wales football team (he’s only been trying for 10 years – we’re sure he’ll get there someday…) Reach out to Rob today to discuss any open opportunities he might have for you.

Beth is our operational manager at trg. and The Roundabouts, one of London’s biggest technology meet up groups. She supports the running, maintenance, and upkeep of general business operations and the offices, and most importantly keeping us all in check, she really is the glue that keeps us all together. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, looking after her cats Rosie & Jim and metalsmithing. We’d be lost without her, she’s truly one of a kind. If you’re interested in joining our team, or looking for more information on The Roundabouts contact her today.

Outside of work Sam loves a bit of adventure, whether it be skiing, surfing, golfing, or travelling the world. Sam says that how we feel really matters and is a big advocate of speaking about how we feel, our mental health, and fully supports counselling, as it’s been a huge help to him over recent years, and one day hopes to explore that as a vocation too.
