Jilly Brocklebank is the Founder of Recruit GTR, a boutique recruitment service dedicated to travel retail. She is recognised for her long career in the industry and being a people-focused HR professional.

Jilly has spent over 25 years in retail, mainly in the beauty industry within UK department stores before making the move to Heathrow to commence an 11-year stint with World Duty Free in a variety of roles from Operations to HR and Resourcing. This experience affirmed Jilly’s passion for travel retail and nurturing people to achieve their best.

Moving on to Estee Lauder Companies, Jilly gained valuable experience of working with vast teams and people at all levels, further embedding the passion and enthusiasm for finding and sourcing great talent to work within brands. Matching the right people to roles and talent planning for the future continues to inspire Jilly and is the topic she will most talk about in the industry.
