Joining Advo as a consultant, then senior roles before moving into management, Jenni gives an overview of her career journey to date.

“My career has always been in Human Resources (HR) after studying a BA (Hons) in Human Resources with Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) at University many years ago.

A few years after that, I became a Chartered Member of the CIPD, an accreditation I am extremely proud to have achieved so early on in my career.

My HR Journey started working in food retail and I have moved into various different HR roles in a vast-moving commercial environments, including online retailing, facilities management, professional services.  My change management skills have come from more recent experience of healthcare and my previous role in a Education Setting.

All these industries have given me the working practices to adapt to change within a variety of business and provide legally compliant and very commercial solutions.

I have always had internal HR roles and applied to Advo for some variety, dealing with complex HR queries and learning new industries and knowledge.

I started my journey at Advo in January 2022 as a HR consultant, managing a portfolio of clients for over 2.5 years.

In August 2024, I was promoted to HR Manager, not only supporting a team of HR Consultants but also looking after the internal HR processes at Advo.

Advo have supported me on this amazing journey.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family.
