Key Personnel

	Phil Downer FIRP Director Tel: 01722 327241 email: pd@5rr.co.uk
Phil is the founder and face of Five Rivers Recruitment. Having worked in various roles at the job centre for over thirty years he realised when the time came to leave that there was a niche for high quality ethical recruitment consultancy within Salisbury. To this end Five Rivers Recruitment was born in 2004 and has grown in size and reputation ever since. Phil is justifiably proud of what the company has achieved and is a vocal advocate of the importance of good people to local businesses. A keen sportsman earlier in life, Phil now limits his exertions to an occasional game of tennis and lots of energetic walks with his two dogs. He is, however, happy to talk in great detail on almost any sport you care to mention, as well as having a borderline obsession with Les Miserables. There is a belief in the office that if Phil is ever offered tickets to Les Mis and Man United on the same day he may well explode.
	Richard Williams MIRP CertRP Director Tel: 01722 327293 email: rw@5rr.co.uk
Richard moved into the industry with Five Rivers Recruitment in 2007, having previously worked in a variety of media sales and account management roles in London and Bristol. Richard is responsible for most of our technical and sales recruitment as well as being the general office contact when it comes to marketing, social media and IT issues. Richard lives in Warminster with his wife, three children and three cats and can often be found playing golf very badly at a variety of courses around Wiltshire. He is a co-founder of the Warminster Philharmonic Orchestra along with his wife and is the orchestra's honourary tea maker-in-chief. He also used to run the occasional half-marathon, although you wouldn't guess it to look at him!
	Kate Courtnell MIRP CertRP Consultant Tel: 01722 321300 email: kc@5rr.co.uk
Kate joined Five Rivers in 2010 as a trainee recruitment consultant. Fresh out of college at that point, Kate quickly adapted to the Five Rivers ethos and her can-do attitude has won her many friends amongst clients and candidates alike. Kate undertook her Certificate in Recruitment Practice in 2010 and since then has been an integral part of the growth of Five Rivers. Kate has a passion for speed, particularly the two-wheeled kind and can often be found of a weekend following the superbikes, either that or she has a thing for men in leather...
	Roger Thomas Training & Development Manager Tel: 01722 327241 email: training@5rr.co.uk
Roger is an experienced ‘people development’ trainer who has been facilitating learning events for over 20 years. Roger designs and runs bespoke, interactive and fun training, based on tangible business objectives. He has organised team builds, coached individuals, presented to European business managers and even won awards for Diversity projects (2007). Roger has lived in Salisbury with his family for the last 17 years. He is also a keen tennis player and he and Phil can often be found out on centre court (and even more regularly in the bar afterwards watching the football!).
