Meet the team.
Amy Peoples
Amy focusses on finance recruitment within industry, including Tax, Treasury & Internal Audit as well as core finance following demand from key clients. Working closely with Finance Directors, Financial Controllers and “Heads of” within industry and financial services, she works with you to identify and attract top talent.
Throughout her career Amy has recruited within the Scottish market, and the Canadian and Australian markets. Overseas, she led the Tax and Legal teams in a FTSE 200 company, and established a brand from a standing start in 2015. In 2016, Amy returned to Scotland and worked across specialist finance markets Scotland wide within both a global recruitment company, and a smaller search firm, until 2021, when she founded Metier Peoples.
In her earlier days, Amy studied to be a Lawyer and holds a LLB (Hons) from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time with her Cockapoo, Mister, who has been very supportive of the set up of Metier Peoples!
Living in the countryside, Amy enjoys all rural living has to offer in the summer, and likes to spend winter evenings with a fire and a nice glass of wine. Amy also takes part in a variety of physical charitable events in order to raise money for local causes close to her heart, and has been attempting to “bag” a Munro (or at least a hill) every now and again.
A volunteer Ambassador for the Association of Corporate Treasurers, Amy also dedicates some time to planning events in Scotland in order to facilitate a connected Treasury community.

Having been headhunted to join a US Fortune 500 company he has since worked within professional services providing permanent recruitment of technical and managerial candidates, placing Managing Directors, Directors, and Managers into great consulting firms as stand-alone hires and when companies have been building out teams.

In his downtime Scott loves travel, sport and cooking, as well as spending time in the countryside with his wife and dog, Mister.
