Jo Howell BTEC BA & MGT

Recruitment Manager

Jo joined Cathedral Appointments in 2012 after over 25 years in recruitment spanning the whole of the UK - Aberdeen, Home Counties, Greater Manchester and the South West! She recruits for both Financial Services and Accountancy professionals and is known in the office for finding the needle in the haystack candidate where no one else can!

Favourite place in the South West: Budleigh beach – late evening BBQ with the family,  swim and paddleboard.

Favourite place to eat: Greendale Farm Shop, Exeter – great fish & chips

What job would you be terrible at? Anything to do with arts and crafts but I did master the art of an Egyptian Sarcophagus made from a shoe box! (Primary year 3 remains my highest achievement and it took hours!)
