Meet the Team

Meeta is our CEO and owner of the business.  She is the longest serving member of the team, joining The Maine Group back in 1997. She graduated from Kings with a degree in Physics and is also a qualified Accountant – she really is an all rounder! Soon after starting with The Maine Group, Meeta realised she had become part of something special within the recruitment world. “We practiced recruitment with such integrity that growing the business five-fold in five years was an honour”. Meeta worked her way up to Managing Director in 2005, and remained so passionate about the way we do recruitment that she bought the company in June 2011, and has never looked back!

Meeta’s passion is in adding value to the businesses in London by finding the right people to fit the organisation in every way.  She is the pioneer of being Consultants in Recruitment and works to not only add value through a partnership approach with clients and candidates alike, but to improve the reputation of the recruitment industry overall, leading with the unequivocal 3 month 100% financial guarantee!

Meeta runs the business with the help of her leadership team, and is involved with the strategic vision of the Maine Group, building the strongest relationship with her clients and candidates and ensuring that the network she is involved with are the most successful thanks to the people the Maine group introduce.

Carly has been with the Maine Group for 15 years, starting with us back in 2004! Before she joined us, she started her career as an EA supporting senior executives in the banking and finance world.  After 5 years of this, she registered with Maine-Tucker Secretarial as a candidate but we spotted her skills and knew we wanted her on board! Carly started her journey with Maine-Tucker as a Temps recruiter, and with her experience as an EA, this worked perfectly. She was given a volume client account to manage which saw her working onsite with the client once a week, allowing her to really immerse herself in their culture. Since then, Carly has progressed far, working her way up to temp team manager, Associate Director and now Director. Carly is pivotal to our senior leadership team, and spends her time on strategic projects with Meeta, as well as running a very busy permanent Secretarial desk!

Kate began working at the Maine Group in January 2011 and has had quite a journey since then! She started out as our Receptionist but then worked her way up to PA to MD to Business Assistant and is now our EA to CEO/ Business Manager, and is now Associate Director! She works very closely with our CEO Meeta, and looks after all of our Business Operations including Marketing, HR, IT and Office needs. She liasises regularly with our suppliers, and also heads up the A Team. Together, they run a tight ship!

Siobhan joined The Maine Group in January 2017 and has become an integral member of the Maine Charity team. Siobhan has a wealth of Recruitment experience, over 20 years in fact, with her first role out of college being an administrator in a recruitment company. Throughout her career, she has worked across a variety of commercial companies but soon found her niche in the Charity and Not for Profit sectors. Siobhan has been working within the Charity world for the last 10 years honing her skills. She has spent time as a recruiter and as a Partnerships Manager for Marie Curie. After this stint away from recruitment, she realised that she missed the fast-pace world of recruitment and came back to the industry, and where better than Maine Charity! Siobhan chose to join The Maine Group because she truly believes in our values and loves the positive way we work with both candidates and clients. She was keen to work with like-minded people and be part of a mature working environment.

Sam took a break for a few years and returned to us in 2022 and it's like she's never been away! She is a true expert in recruitment and loves matching the perfect candidates to her clients! 

Amanda joined The Maine Group in June 2022, and we've loved having her on board! She comes to us with a wealth of recruitment knowledge and 18 years of experience, particularly in the Operational Support Sector. She runs a successful permanent desk here at The Maine Group and has been smashing it since she began!
