Sarah Warburton

Senior Account Manager, Account Management

People have always been at the centre of what I do, and that’s what has kept me passionate about recruitment for the last 25 years. I’ve always believed that successful recruitment is about far more than matching skills to a job description. It’s about taking the time to really understand people, their motivations, challenges and ambitions, and helping them make decisions that are right for them and their businesses.

Over the years, I’ve built strong and trusted relationships across the Hertfordshire market and have become a go-to for insight, advice and support. My clients know they can rely on me for an honest, thoughtful and high-quality service, and my candidates know they will always be treated with empathy, respect and care. I bring experience, market knowledge and a people-first approach to every search, and I take real pride in helping businesses and individuals find the right fit for long-term success.

At The Weekend You Will Find Me

You’ll usually find me outdoors with my Cavapoo, Daffers, who certainly keeps me on my toes with long walks and endless games of ball. There’s nothing better than fresh air, good company and switching off after a busy week, usually rounded off with a pub lunch and a well-earned G&T. I’m also a keen football fan and a proud supporter of Newcastle United, so there’s always a match to keep an eye on. A fun fact about me is that my brother is Mark Warburton, who has managed clubs including Nottingham Forest. and Rangers, so football has always been part of family life.

THE ONE GROUP

Where we're from,
and how we got here

Twenty years of specialist recruitment in the East – and a lot of small decisions that added up.

TOG started in Peterborough in 2004 with a small team and a simple idea: that recruitment is a people business, done best by specialists who stay in their sector long enough to know it properly.

More than two decades on, we've grown into four offices across the East of England and Home Counties. We recruit for finance leaders, HR directors, engineering managers, tech founders, scientists, and the commercial teams that keep businesses running day to day. Between us, we've built up over 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of more than 150,000 candidates we've placed, coached, or come to know across two decades in the region.

The founding principle hasn't changed. Recruitment as it should be.

OUR STORY

Key events timeline

2004

Doors open in Peterborough.

Our first office launches with a team of six on Lynch Wood. Cambridge follows the same year, giving us two offices before our first anniversary.

2015

Northampton makes it three.

Our third office opens with a team of five, quickly growing to eleven consultants covering the wider Midlands region.

2017

Peterborough moves across the road.

The team has outgrown the founding office. We move into Arena House on Lynch Wood, big enough for a growing consultant base and the back-office team that supports the whole group.

2018

Cambridge moves too.

Our second office relocates to Cambourne Business Park, giving the growing Cambridge team the space it now needs.

2023

Four offices, three counties, one very good year.

The Hertfordshire & Essex office opens in Potters Bar, extending our footprint into the Home Counties.

In the same year, we're named Business of the Year in Northamptonshire, and Employer of the Year in both Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire at the regional SME Business Awards. Three counties, three panels.

TODAY

Still growing.

Four offices, more than 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of over 150,000 candidates.

Same founding principle.

SPECIALISTS BY DESIGN

What we do

We're specialists, not generalists. Every consultant at TOG focuses on one sector and stays in it. Not because it's the only way to do recruitment, but because it's how you build the depth to spot the difference between a strong CV and a strong hire.

It's also why so many of our clients come back to us years, even decades, after a first placement.

THE WAY WE WORK

How we work

Four principles show up in every conversation and every process.
01

Be curious.

We stay interested in the market we work in, and in the people who work in it.

02

Keep it human.

We remember your kids' names and know how you take your coffee. That's just how we work here.

03

Make a difference.

We're here to help people build careers they love and businesses they're proud of.

04

Enjoy the ride.

Recruitment is a career, but it should be fun too. If it isn't, we've done something wrong.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Recruitment
as it should be.
