Sales Director
Kate Sefton
Being a sales director at Abacus means no day is ever the same. I’m either working with the teams in one of our branches helping them to develop new business or spending time on site with our key accounts to ensure we are giving the best service possible.
I’ve worked in recruitment since ‘96 and with abacus since 2004, so it’s a massive part of my life. I love it.
Weekends with the family, watching my boys play footy followed by a dog walk and a pub stop enroute keeps me sane!
