Grace Gilmore
Managing Director
Grace joined Kennedy Reid in September of 2013 as a Recruitment Consultant.

Grace’s passion for Insurance started well before Kennedy Reid. She began her career in Insurance as a senior sales consultant. She built up her skill-set and knowledge within Insurance by providing exceptional customer service for the brands and products. Grace then decided to move into the Recruitment market in 2013, where she could use her acquired skills and knowledge in a fulfilling industry.
With an Honours degree in Business Studies, Grace has also acquired an understanding of Business Operations and Management and has continued successfully running the business.
In her current role, Grace is responsible for developing and executing the company vision, including ultimate responsibility for the Sales, Operations, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and IT functions across the business.
One of the Kennedy Reid values that Grace enjoys is energy. Kennedy Reid promotes an active and healthy lifestyle and affords its employees fresh fruit daily and fitness opportunities. Grace partakes in a daily fitness routine, which enables her to maintain her focus and good health in all aspects of life.
