Hi. I’m Ollie, co-founder of Pitch; specialist recruiters to the creative, marketing & PR sector. Recruiters often get a bad press but we hopefully escape this by working hard to develop close links with the industry that we're passionate about. And by giving a bit back along the way.

Which is one of the reasons I joined PACE Council, my main remit being to help organise insightful training events and to help PACE build closer links with the student community; the 'B-Hive' student competition that Pitch run has been specifically designed to open the door to the industry for Birmingham’s next generation of creative and marketing talent.

Outside work I try to keep fit, play a spot of golf (badly), enjoy snowboarding and still cling to the fact that I was once fairly good at windsurfing. I also make a mean mojito.
