Justin Powlesland

Director

Justin has worked in veterinary recruitment since 2009, and founded JHP in 2015. His favourite part of the job is working with the team and speaking to the many clients and candidates he’s become friends with over the years. He loves working in the industry, but admits he’d make a rubbish vet or nurse – he’s too squeamish! Outside work he loves sport, especially golf, which he plays most weeks, and football, in which he coaches one of his two son’s youth teams.

If he could place anybody into a practice he’d go for Micky Flanagan, to keep the rest of the staff entertained – although he thinks he’d be in high demand!

Jo Murr

Compliance and HR Manager

Jo joined the team in 2019 as our compliance manager, and has held similar roles before, making the most of her organisational skills and keen eye for detail. She enjoys the variety of her role as every day is different and challenging. Outside of work she loves socialising with friends and family, and getting outside walking and cycling – especially with the beauties of Devon on the doorstep! She doesn’t currently have any pets, but would love either a dog or a cat, having grown up around dogs, cats, hamsters, goldfish and even chickens!

Lydia Powlesland

Accounts Manager

Lydia has been working for JHP Recruitment since the company started. She is the Accounts Manager and looks after the sales and purchase ledgers. She has worked in an accounts role since 2005. Lydia enjoys working at JHP as likes the fast pace and the friendly team environment.

Outside of work Lydia enjoys going to the gym, reading and spending time with her 2 young boys, who have two rabbits called Snowball and Midnight.
