Kyle has over a decade’s experience working in the temporary worker and contractor payroll market having occupied positions for both recruitment and umbrella firms; he has also worked as a contractor, so he is perfectly qualified to recognise the effects that acts of non-compliance have upon the ever-growing contingent workforce.
Inspired by the aspirations and remit of the PCA, Kyle holds a pivotal position within the organisation and as Commercial Director, serves as the conduit between our team, potential members, stakeholders and ultimately, the contracting fraternity.

Having completed her degree at de Montford University in Leicester, Olivia deliberately embarked on a career in recruitment, cutting her teeth as a consultant for a construction and property agency. The experience gave her an insight into the complex workings of the recruitment business and enabled her to prove herself at the sharp end of the industry.
Tenacious, driven, and honourable by nature, these qualities propelled her career to executive level before taking over the running of Positive Healthcare in 2018. The hitherto faltering agency has now evolved into a multi-million-pound brand with over 35 staff representing hundreds of candidates in the medical, health, social care, and mental health sectors.
Her personal attributes have instilled integrity and honesty into the business and set the standards by which to continue Positives’ accelerated growth plans. Olivia has embraced the opportunity to join the PCA as she is committed to transforming the umbrella landscape to ensure it provides a transparent and reputable outsourced payroll function to the assignment-based supply chain.

He joined the PCA Board to seize the opportunity to work towards ending this exploitation of innocent workers.
