Sue is the ‘Wallis’ behind Sewell Wallis, and is the owner and MD of this fabulous business.

Sue is the &lsquo;Wallis&rsquo; behind Sewell Wallis, and is joint MD of this fabulous business. Joining the recruitment world over 30 years ago in London, she moved to Yorkshire and joined Sewell Moorhouse in 2006 as regional director, promoted to MD of that entire brand 8 years later. In 2017, along with her counterpart Kayley Haythornthwaite, Sue completed an MBO, splitting the Sewell Moorhouse brand from the rest of the business and rebranding as Sewell Wallis.When she&rsquo;s not at work, on the phone, driving to a meeting, coaching one of her staff or having a lie down in a dark room to recover from all of these things, you&rsquo;ll find her with her husband John, and her beautiful Ridgeback Bronn on a long country walk with a cheeky pub lunch in the middle. She&rsquo;s a Londoner at heart, but has never regretted her move to this beautiful part of the world.What&rsquo;s your Sewell Wallis speciality? I look after the business and our brilliant team, along with recruiting for Senior HR and Exec roles.What&rsquo;s your favourite thing about your job? The people, without a doubt. Every one of them is an individual and they&rsquo;re all brilliant in their own way. Also, everyone says it, but every day is always something differentWhat is your biggest fear? Losing my voice!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Joint Managing Director

Sue Wallis

Team Member

As well as being Joint Managing Director of the business, Kayley also oversees all senior finance and exec level recruitment across South &amp; West Yorkshire, occasionally lending her hand to specialist exec roles that fall outside of her typical finance remit. Having originally studied Architecture at Newcastle Uni, and then ultimately deciding she didn&rsquo;t want to be an architect, Kayley fell into an internal recruitment role, then took a graduate trainee consultant position, which started her journey to where she is now!She&rsquo;s been recruiting into the finance market across the region for over 15 years, with nearly a decade of that at senior level, so has an unrivalled network and knows pretty much everyone!Outside of work, Kayley spends most of her time with her young children and her family, and when she gets a bit of down time, you&rsquo;ll find her out for dinner with her friends. She&rsquo;s recently taken up running too!What&rsquo;s your Sewell Wallis speciality?I&rsquo;m part owner and joint Managing Director of our Sheffield office, and I also oversee the senior finance team and recruit at senior finance and exec level across industry, practice and not-for-profit, so as you can imagine, I&rsquo;m always busy!What&rsquo;s your favourite thing about your job?I get to work with some of the most talented recruiters in the region &ndash; they&rsquo;re an absolute dream to manage and they smash it every single day. The variety of what I get to do is so varied, and it means no day is the same as the last.

Kayley Haythornthwaite

Business Manager | Part-Qualified and Newly Qualified Finance

Hannah is our Associate Director based in the Sheffield office, managing the Transactional Finance team alongside recruiting on a desk of her own.She started her recruitment career in call centre recruitment but coming from a whole family of Accountants, when presented with the opportunity to work within a role relating to Finance, it felt like a great opportunity to be able to join the dinner table conversation every once in a while!Her idea of a perfect day consists of a long dog walk in the sunshine with her partner and their dog Albie, finished off by a hearty pub lunch, then home for a horror film with a family sized tub of ice cream!What is your specialism?I specialise in recruiting for part and newly qualified finance professionals across South and West Yorkshire.What&rsquo;s your favourite thing about your job? I love my job &ndash; I get to manage a brilliant team where it&rsquo;s a genuine privilege to support and witness their growth and development.I love my specialism because this point in a candidates career is so pivotal. It&rsquo;s a really important time for them to find the right role to set them on their trajectory for the future. It means that I get to speak with people consistently who show enthusiasm, dedication, drive and commitment!&nbsp;What makes you laugh the most? Unfortunately my mum, my sister and myself all have the same weakness here. We tend to get in trouble because what makes us all laugh the most is the other two laughing. It usually happens somewhere completely inappropriate and once we&rsquo;ve started there is no stopping us. We&rsquo;ve had to leave pilates, theatre and multiple cinema screenings before. It&rsquo;s highly inconvenient!!

In her spare time after that, she loves an American drama series.What&rsquo;s your Sewell Wallis specialty?I manage our admin team! I also set up and manage our GDPR and other internal processes.What&rsquo;s your favorite thing about your job?That no two days are the same.&nbsp; There is always something new to learn or a new challenge to overcome.If you could live anywhere, where would it be?I love the sound of the sea, so anywhere that is warm, sunny and by the sea.What are you most proud of?I am aware it&rsquo;s a clich&eacute;, but I&rsquo;m most proud of my children.&nbsp; They challenge me every single day and it&rsquo;s amazing to try to see the world through their eyes.
