Gordon Yates | About Us

Richard Grace

Born: Buenos Aires
Raised: Cold northeast England
GY role: Helps Jo run GY
Life etc: The lovely Christa; 6 smart, good-looking sons (take after their mothers); 2 ex-wives (still friends); 2 wondrous granddaughters; guitar; learning Spanish

Born: London
Raised: Mainly Berkshire with a few other places added to the mix
GY role: After twenty years still waiting for a formal job spec but still loving it... most days anyway. Feel very lucky to be part of the recruitment sector and have felt this way since my first job in 1984
Life etc: Spending time with my wonderful husband Louis, sharing time with our fab friends and spending as much time as possible outside because so much of the week is spent indoors

Born: Chichester
Raised: Bognor Regis, the end of the earth
GY role: Manages the best temp team in London; as Associate Director helps run GY with Claire Pix, Jo T and Ricardo. Motivate my lovely team and manage the daily 'drama queen' outbursts from Claire H (and Luce on special occasions.)
Life etc: Loves a bit of positivity, my gorgeous husband, family and all things festive. I love all the seasons but adore the summer for immense bbqs, festivals and 'pims o-clock.' Dining alfresco; feeding people, eating books - particularly the cooking variety; (you see a pattern emerging?) Dark gritty theatre; the 5* GY weekenders and of course the dreaded gym... well, kinda.

Born: To run
Raised: By wolves - not the animal but the West Midlands football club
GY role: Joint AD with the brilliant Sars and Perm Team Leader
Life etc: Having recently bought my first house I am trying to put into practice every article in Home and Garden and covering any available surface in cushions while using my spare time to desperately try and stop the inexorable rise of Jedward, armed only with a red button and a glass of Sauvingon Blanc
