In the early 1980's, Judy English was employed in an administrative role in St. John's, NL with Finance America - a division of the Bank of America. From there, Judy made the change into the staffing industry and has had much success. Judy had noted that the market was underserved in the timely provision of qualified and competent personnel to serve in temporary contractual positions, primarily in office settings.
Along with her designation of Registered Professional Recruiter, Judy also holds membership in the following organizations: Business Association of Newfoundland & Labrador; Newfoundland & Labrador Employers Council; International Personnel Management Association of Canada; Better Business Bureau; Employment & Staffing Services of Canada; Newfoundland & Labrador Organization of Women Entrepreneurs and Newfoundland Ocean Industries Association. In addition to volunteering with the business community, Judy is also involved with the St. John's Rotary Club.
When Judy is not surrounded by business dealings, she busies herself with family and fun. Judy enjoys curling in the winter months and golf in the summer months as well as traveling with her husband Bob.
