The team
Lee Blasdale
As founder, Lee has 14 years’ experience helping City based insurers and software providers recruit the markets' best talent. Passionate about having a business that earns its reputation of success for both clients and candidates.
“No two clients are the same, but 99% of recruiters provide the same service. By offering 4 flexible recruitment options, our solutions are shaped to each client’s needs and goals. With the agility to adapt them further, Hanson Lee genuinely provides an innovative and insightful approach.”
“We’ve been fortunate to work with some of the same leading companies for over 10 years. Developing strong partnerships has been (and remains) key to helping our clients attract the very best people.”
Lee splits his time between his home in Shropshire and HL’s offices in London and Dubai.
Vivienne Gordon-Turner
With 13 years of experience recruiting in the London insurance and insurtech markets, Viv is passionate about accelerating career opportunities and creating exceptional value for hiring companies.
In Viv’s own words: “Recruitment is a misnomer; in that it implies a transactional state with nothing before and nothing afterwards. We think differently. Attracting talent involves being consultant and counsellor, seeing opportunities where others might not, and ensuring that in the core deliverables - there are the correct synergies.”
When Viv isn't busy working, you'll likely find her enjoying the great outdoors in her native South Africa with her family and walking her beloved dogs.
