FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR
Zoe’s passion for bespoke recruitment of high calibre private household staff and luxury hospitality venues is underpinned by her extensive background in recruitment.
As a Senior Consultant for a prior London agency, Zoe noted that Countryside positions were often sidelined or put to the bottom of the mounting London and International requests. Having moved from London to the Countryside, she was acutely aware of the increasing demand for high quality and experienced staff for these Countryside estates and residences. Luxury private members clubs and venues also started to pop up across the UK outside of London, with a big focus on the Cotswolds.
In Jan 2022, Shire & Wold was born and has continued to grow organically through reputation and referrals from clients and candidates throughout the UK Countryside.
