Meet the Team

I fell into marketing, as many of us did, having first tried my hand at programming and digital design. Graphics, videos, animations and copywriting have been very helpful in my career which spans a little over a decade. From freelancing to franchises, start-ups to agencies, it’s been a fun ride!

Aneliese Hirst,

Founder

My recruitment background has seen my recruiting at all levels, in retail banking, construction and property, finance and now events management and marketing. Understanding a new sector, its candidates and the employers is what makes the role interesting for me. I am now focused on driving the Talent side of Unite forward and continuing the success we have already achieved.

Since graduating from London South Bank Unversity in 2021 with a degree in Film Practice, I started my career as an estate agents where I was solely responsible for their marketing. This sparked my interest in Marketing as a career so I decided to begin working full-time at unite as a Marketing Executive, helping to support our manager Dan with all our fantastic clients.
