James Newbury Appointments

Independent, bespoke, local, time invested:
Recruitment Done Well

Our Founders

The two founders of James Newbury Appointments, Penny and Caroline, have worked together in recruitment since 1998, working for leading global recruitment agencies, where they developed a passion for the art of Recruitment Done Well.

Although recruitment has changed a lot since then (remember in 1998, emails were just being introduced), Penny and Caroline managed the top recruitment desk in the UK and managed the top office for 10 consecutive years (out of 227 offices – not a bad achievement!)

Having developed their careers in different ways, Penny and Caroline got back together in 2015 when they wanted to make a difference to the way people recruit having realised that there was a need for a localised and personalised recruitment agency. Their vision was to develop a recruitment agency with a focus on great customer care and service – so with a sturdy kitchen table, 2 phones and 2 laptops, James Newbury Appointments was born. ‘James’, as a tribute to the father of one of the founders and ‘Newbury’ being the name of the house JNA was founded and came to life!

In 2019 Penny retired from James Newbury Appointments to focus on her family projects. Caroline now runs the business, looking after candidates and employers with the same level of care and original values at heart.
