Managing Director

Charlotte

Charlotte joined the business as MD in May ’21. Prior to making waves for Sixty Eight, she was the people director and formerly operations director of northern trailblazer Mission Mars, developing the award winning Alberts Schloss and Rudy’s brands. As a former client, ‘CK’ knows only too well the challenges operators face, which has undeniably helped shape our straight-forward, high impact approach.

Founder

Abi

Sixty Eight founder Abi is a hospo veteran turned seasoned recruitment expert. Starting her hospo career collecting glasses then developing to general manager, she landed safely in ‘people’ around 15 years ago. People development and creating dream jobs is her passion and what she doesn’t know about northern hospitality recruitment, isn’t worth knowing. Oh and she loves a campaign or two, fighting for the betterment of the sector whenever she can.

Abigail

Head of Client Success, North

Abigail is our Head of Business Development. Helping us to build Sixty Eight across the land and enabling us to offer more dream jobs to more candidates. Not forgetting the organisation of our mammoth event calendar. As a self-proclaimed social butterfly, she LOVES attending industry shindigs too. She’s waiting patiently for your invites.

Abbi

Head of Client Success, London

Obsessed with London Hospitality. Working with our clients both existing & new to boost their operation into the stratosphere – helping them to find the talent that they deserve. Abbi loves to cook and even won a Channel 4 cooking programme. Did we mention she’s also previously worked at Revolution bars, Landmark & Talent.com – isn’t that the perfect blend of hospitality and recruitment experience?

Abbie

Head of Luxe

Abbie has 11 years of experience in hospitality recruitment with distinct expertise in hotels, awarded restaurants, & the Michelin world. Founder of The Female Hospitality Network, she is also passionate about revolutionising our industry. Abbie is the Head of Sixty Eight Luxe across our North and South Teams. She loves sharing positive energy (ideally, with Champagne & a crystal in hand), she is our spiritual sister, office birthday cake baker and proud mum to her little boy Maxi.

Judyta

Divisional Director

Judyta is a true expert in her field and loves the industry with all her heart (and she has a pretty big heart). A self-professed coffee-holic who is quicker off the mark than you can place your own order.

Rach

Talent Director

Matt

Talent Director

Leeds-born, now honorary Londoner, Matthew started his career in hotels moving into bars and restaurants when he discovered his flair for sales and events. You may well have crossed paths with him back in his All-Star Lanes days. Matt joined Sixty Eight with a bang (and a high kick) and become the manager of our very own sales and marketing division and heads up Team London!

Alanna

TALENT CONSULTANT

Alanna is one of our London based Talent Consultants, a true hospitalitarian, working within the industry in 7 different cities. Her experience ranges from opening gorgeous country pubs, running experience led venues as well as working within sales and events across the capital. Alanna LOVE listening to peoples stories and feeling she can be apart of their future career move (if it can be done over cheese and wine, even better).

Natalia

TALENT CONSULTANT

Originally from Poland, Natalia is fluent in 3 languages (Polish, English and Portuguese) – she is also learning Spanish and Italian! After arriving in the UK, Natalia quickly found a role within hospitality – in her words ‘hospitality taught me life skills and gave me a big heart for those starting their journey’. She is an advocate for wellbeing and is a qualified Mental Health First Aider and wants to help people to flourish.

Jack B

Talent Manager

One of our London-based Talent Managers.  Joining the London office in 2023 after a career in both hospitality and recruitment. Jack is happiest when surrounded by great food & engaging convos. He is admittedly the most competitive in the room though (play Monopoly with him at your own peril)

Cally

CLASSOF68 | Head Coach

Our Head Coach. The Training Guru. Cally spent 12 years at the world-renowned Living Ventures, developing and delivering training material for brands such as Australasia, The Alchemist and New World Trading. She believes we have the opportunity to revolutionise how hospitality management training works and don’t tell anyone, but we think she will do it!

Summerleigh

CLASSOF68 | Coach

A hospo veteran! 11 years under her belt (so far). Her experience includes working with Mission Mars; more specifically the Albert’s Schloss brand.

Our football fanatic, playing for 2 Manchester teams, one of which she also coaches. A lot of her week is spent chasing a ball around a patch of turf and/or teaching people how to do so.

Her favourite animal is a dog… any dog… all dogs. If there’s a dog in the room then humans won’t get her attention, soz. Often heard saying… “ooh don’t threaten me with a good time” – much funnier when talking about a very dull activity!

Rebecca

Talent Manager

Not ‘Bev’ as autocorrect would like you to think. Bec learnt the hospitality ropes early on thanks to her mum’s coffee and ice cream store! She has worked for both Revolution and Mission Mars in sales and marketing roles, putting years of practice to life-changing use. The loudest of the bunch (sorry Bec), her beautiful Irish tones wont fail to put a smile on your face.

Jessie

Talent Consultant

Our in-house Celtic Warrior. Jessie has worked in some of the best bars on the planet. She finished up her operational career (and her time behind the stick) with Gaucho and joined Sixty Eight to fight the good fight in changing the perception of hospitality recruiters in August ’21.

Oliver

Talent Consultant

Oliver started his hospitality crusade in his mum’s cafe in Essex. Until he got the taste of Michelin star & luxury dining without overlooking his love for fried chicken! He’s opened (and closed) a cocktail bar and had stints front of house and recently in sales & events. He’s now on a matchmaking mission for operators and superstar candidates.

Sarah
