Leanne Boddy - Associate Director
Manchester
As an Associate Director at Macmillan Davies, I specialise in recruiting HR professionals at all levels, from entry-level to senior leadership roles. With over 20 years of experience in recruitment, I bring a deep understanding of the HR landscape and a commitment to delivering both a professional and personable approach.
I’m passionate about helping people advance their careers and truly value the trust my clients and candidates place in me. Whether supporting emerging HR talent or partnering with businesses to secure senior HR leaders on a retained or contingency basis, I take pride in fostering lasting relationships.
Based in Manchester, I work across the Northwest and also lead our growing Leeds & North East division. Being originally from Harrogate, I’m particularly proud to support clients on both sides of the Pennines, helping businesses thrive by connecting them with top HR talent.
Quick fire questions…
What are the values that drive you?
Respectful, consultative, commercial, collaborative, passionate, inclusive. At MDHR, we collectively agreed our company values and they are at the heart of everything we do. I am proud to work by these values.
What do you think is the key to professional success?
Trust is key to success. Working ethically at all times is a non-negotiable for me. I think it is important to always see things from the other person’s point of view.
What is the best piece of advice I've ever been given?
What other people think of you is none of your business!
What is your personal motto or mantra?
Don’t worry about the past or the future, focus on today. Be kind, always.
