Tom Mornement, Director
Tom is the joint founder of Purple House. He graduated in Business and IT and recruited at the mid to senior levels in the highly competitive banking and finance market in London before moving into HR recruitment some 9 years ago. Tom’s strength is in relationship management and he has many clients and candidates that he has worked with repeatedly over that time. Tom is married with three children and lives in Wiltshire.
Lindsey Newman, Director
As the second founding Director of Purple House, Lindsey focuses on the ‘external’ activity for Purple House such as marketing and business development, forging relationships with new clients and Associates/Partners as well as managing her own base of clients.
Her career before Purple House provides a firm foundation for her role. Lindsey read Law at the University of Bristol followed by a year at Law School. Not wishing to pursue a legal career, she travelled and taught English in South America before joining VNU Business Publications, a Business and IT Publisher, on their graduate scheme.
After 2 years with VNU, she joined Price Jamieson, a specialist Media Recruitment Consultancy, recruiting salespeople for a range of London’s business and consumer publishing houses.
Lindsey moved to Harrison Willis to help establish the Group’s niche legal recruitment arm, ‘In-House Legal’, recruiting senior in-house lawyers for commerce and industry clients. She helped build the brand and managed a small team of recruiters eventually relocating to Bristol in 1998 to establish their HR recruitment division for the South West region. Lindsey was approached in 2000 to establish Carr Lyons Bristol office working with Tom. Lindsey is married and lives in Bristol with her husband and lively 2 year old daughter.
