Blackburn-based chef recruitment agency CJUK has appointed a new head of marketing and communications and added a recruiter to its team.

Beckie Livesey joins to develop the company’s strategic marketing plan to strengthen the brand’s reputation and to build on its communications during a period of growth.

Before joining CJUK, Beckie worked in a variety of marketing roles starting from an account manager at a full-service marketing agency up to a digital marketing specialist at an international engineering company.

Emma Hargreaves joins as a recruiter after progressing from waitress to front of house manager over the course of ten years, bringing with her a wealth of industry knowledge and experience

With a focus on placing relief chefs in the Lake District, Emma is responsible for looking after the welfare of her clients and candidates to make sure they have the best possible experience with CJUK.

Katie Mellor, director of sales and operations, said: “Both Beckie and Emma have many years’ hospitality experience between them and are passionate about achieving growth for the business alongside the rest of the team.” CJUK recently relocated to Blackburn’s award-winning Cathedral Quarter, is one of only four UK hospitality companies to be recognised as a Gold Investor in People employer and won the ‘Best Workforce Temporary Care Award’ in 2017 at the Recruiter Investing in Talent Awards.
