Katherine Busby

Katherine joined the Internal Finance team at Sellick Partnership in 2012. During the 10 years that she has worked for the company she has been promoted 3 times, to her role now as Associate Director of Finance. We spoke to Katherine recently about her experience at Sellick Partnership and what's kept her here!

  • Role: Associate Director of Finance
  • Specialism: Internal Finance
  • Office: Manchester
  • Connect with Katherine on LinkedIn

I was straight out of university looking for a Graduate Accounting role. I particularly wanted to work within Management Accounts rather than a chartered firm of accountants, as I wanted to feel integrated into a business.

I liked that there was a small team environment as I knew that I would get the opportunity to learn all aspects of accounting as well as have the chance to start my accounting qualification.

Becoming a CIMA-qualified Accountant. It was a huge amount of time and work both in terms of exams and gathering evidence for my professional experience requirements. I feel really proud that I passed everything the first time.

I’m very lucky to be in one of the most unique positions within Sellick Partnership where I have an overview of all the teams in the business. I love seeing the success of both individuals and teams, it has been a pleasure to see our contractor numbers grow over the years and I look forward to this continuing!

I get very nervous before presenting at our annual End of Financial Year Awards. Finding the balance between being prepared and over-rehearsed is definitely a challenge.

I love running the Sellick Partnership book club. We get together once a month and discuss our chosen book. It is a lovely opportunity to get to know my colleagues a bit more and have really interesting conversations.

At Sellick Partnership, our values are Passionate, Respected and Engaging. These values differentiate us from our competitors; they define our business priorities, both internally and externally, and lie at the core of everything we do.

We value people who are passionate about their job and committed to providing the best possible service to candidates, clients and colleagues. We are passionate about building lasting partnerships with everyone we work with.

We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders, working alongside them to meet and exceed expectations. We are dedicated to both listening and advising, ensuring the best outcomes are always accomplished.

Everyone who comes across us as a business will be treated with genuine respect and we will always honour differences. We will always learn and develop from the experience and advice of others. We are proud of the reputation we have built in the recruitment sector.

"Before joining, what attracted me was that I could see that Sellick Partnership was full of really good people, but they retained a lot of them. There were quite a lot of people that had great tenure – that meant the business was able to accommodate them."

"I believe in being bold and taking risks. Building teams, encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones, and embracing new ideas have all played a part in our success."

"There’s a genuine feeling that we’re all working towards the same goals, not just for us personally, but for the teams and business as well. Everyone’s so driven, and you get that from every Manager, Senior Manager, Associate Director, and Group Director."

"What made me come back to Sellick Partnership was the constant connection I maintained with the team, even while I was away. That spoke volumes about the values and culture here – it’s a place where you genuinely feel a sense of belonging."

"I’m very lucky to be in one of the most unique positions within Sellick Partnership where I have an overview of all the teams in the business."

"Five years down the line, and I’m still here - in a new role, with more skills and development opportunities, which all stem from the support provided by the management team here."

"My 23k month was a big one! It made me realise the potential there is to earn a lot of money at Sellick Partnership due to the uncapped commission structure."

“Making the move to Sellick Partnership felt like a step up straight away. The business had a more professional feel and a stronger reputation, and I could see it was a place where people were genuinely supported to progress.”

"During conversations with employees, I got the impression that the staff had all been here for a long time, retention was strong - there had to be a reason for this."

"Each month the teams have a review with their Line Manager, this is a really essential time for us as we don't just talk about how our previous month has been but also chat about wellbeing and mental health."

"When you make your first placement it is so exciting, the buzz of finding someone their dream job and also knowing you are doing a good job for your client, I will never get over that feeling and I still get it to this day, knowing you’re helping people is the best thing ever."

"I think there comes a point when you also realise the impact you can have on people’s lives, by connecting them with the right opportunity. It’s so powerful!"

"At Sellick Partnership, there are so many different routes for progression that you really are in control of what you do and where you go. For example, you don’t need to go down the people management route if you don’t want to, you can take a different approach and go into business development. It really is so varied."

“I got a real understanding of how much they were all invested in the business and the amount of opportunity that is available here is massive.”
