KATE GERALD

CEO

I’m Kate Gerald, Founder and CEO of Multi-Award Winning K.A.G. Recruitment & Training Consultancy, mBIT Certified Coach, Business Coach, and a passionate advocate for women in business.

I founded K.A.G. with one clear goal: to change how people experience Recruitment and to use my expertise to help businesses build high-performing teams while empowering women to thrive in traditionally male-dominated industries.

My passion for development led to the creation of K.A.G. Training, our sister company dedicated to helping leaders, managers, and hiring professionals achieve better results through people.

As an mBIT Certified Coach, I integrate mBraining techniques into coaching and training, helping leaders align their head, heart, and gut for clearer, more confident decisions. This approach builds emotional intelligence, strengthens communication, and drives lasting results.

I’m also the founder of Mindset Motivate Manifest, K.A.G.’s community that brings women together through events, panels, and forums designed to share knowledge, build confidence, and create lasting connection.

Beyond recruitment, I created By Your Side, a hands-on service offering wider support to job seekers outside of our disciplines with a 121 guided service.

I know the right questions to ask to unlock the next level of success in your people strategy to deliver the results you want in growing a profitable, productive, and personable business.

I thrive on working with companies who are serious about being the best in class and want a fresh and dynamic approach on how to attract, recruit, and retain their top talent.

As a business owner with full P&L and team responsibilities, I’m a mum to a very competitive teenager, have an amazing, supportive husband and my fur baby Zeke. I am direct, passionate and want to achieve the best results possible for the clients and candidates that we represent.

CHARLOTTE OLIVER

STRATEGIC ACCOUNT DIRECTOR

I’m Charlotte Oliver, the Strategic Account Director at K.A.G. Recruitment Consultancy. I am fully committed to my role, and my core strengths, authenticity, dedication, and trust – guide everything I do. I’m extremely hardworking, and helping others is incredibly rewarding; it’s genuinely one of the best parts of my job! 

Since joining K.A.G., I’ve progressed from Account Manager to Director, a journey that reflects both my passion for the industry and my drive to continually evolve. Supporting candidates in finding the right opportunities and watching them flourish is something I never take for granted. 

Outside of work, I lead a very busy and family-focused life. Providing for my family is my priority, so maintaining a healthy work life balance is essential to me. I’m a proud mom to four sons, a nan to two wonderful boys, and I also have a beautiful Frenchie called Lilly who brings plenty of fun (and chaos) to my home. In my spare time (when I get some!), I love relaxing and catching up on the latest must-watch on Netflix, as well as doing Pilates — my newest go-to for unwinding and recharging. 

ANDREA TRAFFORD

RESOURCE MANAGER

I’m Andrea Trafford, Resource Manager at K.A.G. Recruitment Consultancy.

My career began in the legal world, but in 2018 my journey started in recruitment when I joined K.A.G. Since then, I’ve been driven by one mission—connecting people with opportunities that truly change their lives. There’s nothing better than seeing someone land their dream job and watching their confidence and career take off.

Away from the office, life is full-on (in the best way!) as a proud mum of two boys (and Granddog)  I like nothing better than cooking and having friends and family around the table for dinner, swimming and long walks.

JO ADAMS

RELATIONSHIP MANAGER

I’m Jo Adams, Relationship Manager for the K.A.G. team. The best part of my job is connecting managers with their ideal recruits.  A deep understanding of the ethos and values that managers have developed in their current team is vital in order to source the best candidates for them first time around.

As a certified mBIT coach, people are my passion.  Helping clients to improve their decision making, be clear on their values and be aligned in the work they do is a pioneering philosophy which we are proud to coach at K.A.G.

I also mentor women in male-dominated industries, present confidence workshops and host our bi-yearly Women in Business event Mindset, Motivate, Manifest.  I strongly believe that K.A.G. are rewriting the value and insight that a recruitment consultancy offers to businesses.

Outside of work I am very family oriented with 2 children and a golden retriever.  My personal interests include yoga, dancing and running.
