Kate Allen, Managing Director

Having worked as a recruitment consultant for many years, Kate was determined to do things differently when she established Allen Associates in 1998. She wanted to create a recruitment business which delivered a bespoke service centred on the needs of clients and candidates. Kate’s eye for talent, potential and passion for service excellence has enabled her to build a team which shares her values and consistently delivers outstanding results. Kate takes a hands-on role within the business and shares the day-to-day management and strategic decision-making with Rob and Eleanor.

Rob Allen, Finance Director

Rob co-founded Allen Associates with Kate and shares the same enthusiasm for service excellence. His astute financial management together with his honest and ethical approach to business have ensured Allen Associates has built a reputation as one of the top independent recruitment consultancies in Oxfordshire.

Eleanor Bromage, Associate Director

Eleanor successfully combines her recruitment role with helping to manage and run the business. She has a wealth of practical recruitment knowledge as well as a sound understanding of the Oxfordshire marketplace. A strategic thinker who is known for her direct and pragmatic approach, Eleanor is passionate about all aspects of Allen Associates’ offering and is committed to its future success.

...and the Management TeamAllen Associates is run by owner-directors Kate and Rob Allen together with Eleanor Bromage, who has been an integral part of the team since 2003.


Allen Associates took the pain out of the recruitment process. They stood head and shoulders above other agencies we have dealt with, in terms of their professionalism and the quality of candidates they put forward. Dealing with Allen Associates has been a completely positive experience.
