Every now and then you meet somebody who achieves great things but think themselves ordinary. Wendy Merricks is one such person.

This is her story.

A story that just culminated in the successful sale of her business to an investment company.

Wendy has more recruitment experience than anybody I know, including me!

She worked for Software Knowledge, my first Recruitment company, in the 90s and was not only a brilliant recruiter and businesswoman but was also great fun too.

After the sale of SK to Modis she left to build her own business, Jumar, and what a success that turned out to be!

We'll be discussing her career, what has made her so successful and the key lessons she has learnt along the way.

I guess we'll also talk about the sale of her business too. Lot's to learn there!

You may be particularly interested in the way she developed from being a recruiter to becoming a businessperson – a transition we all have to make to be successful.

She's a brilliant guest and I'm so looking forward to having her on the show. What a great way to start the year!

So, if you're looking for inspiration, ideas or just a few simple tips, this is a must listen!
