Always on Hand to Grow your Teams
Nicole Cooling-Long
Managing Director
I’m Nicole Cooling I’m the founder of Recra Consulting.
Recra was created off the back of a really negative situation and launched in March 2020, as a result it gave me all the strength, motivation and drive to do everything possible to make my dream succeed.. even a pandemic couldn’t stop me!
I like to think of myself as a super positive and extra sparkly individual who will do all I can to help people, I’m naturally an out of the box thinker and like to always pop an innovative spin on anything I do.
I believe there is always a reason to smile and will always find a positive in any situation. I am a single mummy to two beautiful children Jude the dude and Till Zilla and they are my natural motivators.
I am lucky to have a fantastic team within the business and we all have the same goal and motivations, to deliver exceptional service to our clients and candidates, underpinned by an honest and ethical approach.
