Gareth Hibbert is a Senior Recruitment Consultant at Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment, having been with the company for over two years. On a personal note, he is looking to move house to something a bit bigger with a garage so he can tinker. After a busy day, Gareth doesn't get much time to unwind with a 2-year-old, but his unwinding comes during the tram journey home. He loves spending quality time with his family, as nothing beats that. If he weren't in recruitment, Gareth would likely pursue a career in microbiology, particularly focusing on soil, though he’s glad he’s not, as he thinks he might not handle all the excitement!

Abbie spends her weekends performing as Frida in an ABBA tribute band, a fun fact that many people might not know about her.
