Morgaine joined the business as an HR Administrator in 2022. She has been focussed and dedicated to the role she was employed in and the clients she supported first and foremost with positivity and energy.
The trust we all had as a team in the work that Morgaine produced led us to fast track Morgaine’s development, and she was recently promoted to HR Advisor, a role that she has taken to like a duck to water.
Morgaine has a background in workforce coordination which lends itself perfectly to working with our Hybrid HR clients, which she does both on client site and at Dares Farm.
