Shelley was a breath of fresh air to deal with when she recruited me into Oxbotica in 2019, honest, straightforward, and reassuring. Throughout I felt like I was joining a family - Shelley seemed to care so deeply about people and culture, and maintaining good fit with this - and naturally painted a picture of the environment I’d be joining so well, really selling it to me without even trying. Once I onboarded, joining socials and all hands meetings in particular, you could see that Shelley had had a big part to play in that open, comfortable, fun, nurturing environment we were in and still enjoy now. Coming from a very different background, and at the time perhaps not selling myself as well as I could, if it wasn’t for Shelley’s ability to see the potential and her belief in me, I doubt I’d even be in this industry that I have learnt so much in and enjoy so much - so thank you Shelley. Those who you cross paths with professionally are very fortunate indeed.

"I worked with Victoria many years ago at Forcepoint and then we became in touch again recently which was really nice. Victoria is such a professional lady who is kind, supportive, positive and compassionate and someone who always treats others with a high level or respect. A great person!"

“I’ve known Shelley for over 20 years and she has always been a trusted source of advice and guidance on people and process. She initially placed people with me and always found excellent and well prepared candidates and was a supplier who always went above and beyond.
We then spent many years as colleagues and initially she focused on identifying outstanding candidates to join fast growing business. She then expanded her influence to take full control of our HR function and processes which contributed significantly to our ability to attract and retain great people.
Shelley has a passion for people that is infectious and she will be an asset to any organisation looking to find, on-board and keep great people.

I was first introduced to Vikki when she was looking after the on-boarding of staff for a Websense acquisition. She navigated the fine line of representing both the staff and the company very professionally. I would say Vikki is one of the few HR people who comes across as being human and a genuinely nice person. In summary: an asset to any companies HR department.
Mark Mills - Programme Manager
Working with Shelley has always been a pleasure. She is one of those suppliers that goes the extra mile to ensure that her customers are happy. She is very organised, contentious and tenacious. Aware that not everyone have the same level of knowledge on the products that she does she communicates effectivly to both technical and non technical staff.
Her approach to projects is methodical but at the same time she sees the benefits in being as flexible as the end users requires.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Shelley or hiring her services again in the future.

Having known Vikki for 25 years plus , she is truly one of a kind. Over the past almost 30 years in the tech industry it’s rare and humbling to meet someone who is not just committed to their job but actually delivers a 100% people first strategy constantly and consistently.
Being a HR lead that is effective in today’s hugely competitive and dynamic market is about being able to adapt to change on the fly and build and deliver refined strategies for recruitment, onboarding and the entire employee journey from there on to mitigate retention issues in your top talent. This is where Vikki shines and leads the way. She is an incredible asset to any organisation, yet just takes the right actions as human nature, without being primed or asked.
I have no doubts in the incredible value Vikki will add and deliver to any company she worked with and supports. How lucky are those that will have the opportunity of working with her

I’ve worked with Shelley at Oxa (formerly Oxbotica) in her role as Global Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Director. Shelley has been inspirational in setting up and helping to sustain our internal voice groups, and is excellent at ensuring things get done, not just talked about. She has helped facilitate a range of voice groups, encouraging participation and giving space to many people to be able to improve the way we work and help us understand each other.
She does all this thru her range of skills, including coaching, mentoring and facilitating.
