Meet our team

Stephanie joined us in 2019 after graduating from UCLan with a first-class degree in Psychology with Psychotherapy and Counselling. She came to us with 10 years’ experience in customer service and that is reflected in her genuine approach to recruitment. People are at the heart of what we do and Stephanie takes the time to get to know what matters the most to each individual; always aiming to build long standing relationships with those she speaks to.  

Stephanie recruits both temporary and permanent non-qualified accountancy & finance opportunities throughout Ipswich and its surrounding areas. Her unwavering determination and success naturally launched her into the position of Recruitment Manager and then Associate Director. Stephanie understands how to nurture and develop people which makes her the perfect mentor for our ‘non-qual’ team. 

Out of work you’ll find her in the gym training to take on her next challenge; the last being a 15km Tough Mudder and the next being the Ipswich Half Marathon. She is happiest when socialising with friends and exploring somewhere new with her other half.

Ted began his career as a Goalkeeper for Southend United and the England Under 18-20 National Team. Since leaving the Professional Sporting Industry, Ted was very eager to find a role where he could focus on helping others, and he soon realised that a career in recruitment would make use of a variety of transferrable skills, including teamwork, decision-making, meeting new people and providing support and encouragement, which brought him to MacKenzie King.

Ted is a true team player, driven to provide a sincere and beneficial service. He takes care of our non-qualified accounting candidates and clients in and around North Essex, which is very familiar to him as his home county. He’s found great pleasure in matching people with their perfect role and working environment, resulting in some wonderful relationships from the onset of his recruitment career.

As well as maintaining his fitness and doing up his new home outside of work, Ted really enjoys spending quality time with his family and girlfriend. He also enjoys coaching goalkeeping to help children really enjoy playing football whilst learning valuable soft skills.

After completing his Degree in Business at the University of Suffolk Ben joined MacKenzie King in 2022. With previous experience in recruitment, sales and customer service, he has found great pleasure in developing relationships with clients and candidates in and around Suffolk.

Ben enjoys nothing more than meeting new people, learning about them and building lasting connections. In addition to this, his interest in workplace culture and employee engagement at university helps to fuel his drive to facilitate an authentic connection between clients and candidates that in turn leads to successful placements.

Outside of work Ben enjoys all things automotive and is an active member of several local and national groups. When he isn’t in the garage he can usually be found in a country pub relaxing with his partner and two sausage dogs, or covered in paint renovating his new home.

Joining MacKenzie King with almost 18 years’ experience in accountancy, Stacy is a perfect addition to our growing team. As a fully qualified accountant (AAT and ACCA), she has just the right experience and knowledge, having worked both in practice and inhouse at several businesses. The thing she enjoys most about her role is that no two days are the same. She enjoys a challenge and is always happy to help!

Outside of work, when she’s not immersed in numbers, she’s quite the creative. As a crafty, we love the keepsakes she makes. Family is really important to Stacy. She loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and three young children. She’s also one for social events and activities. She’ll always be the first one we ask, ‘what did you do this weekend?’. The answer ranges from the horse races, murder mystery parties to escape rooms.

Bethany joined us in 2024 with a wealth of administration experience and knowledge of the recruitment industry. She thrives in a busy and varied environment which makes her a fantastic addition to support our team.

Following A-levels, Bethany gained a Level 2 qualification in Resourcing and has recently completed a Level 3 Digital Marketing qualification. She is already utilising her experience and newly gained skills to create valuable content for our social media platforms; keep an eye out for her blogs!

Out of work, Bethany enjoys walking and exploring the UK with her partner and Mylo, their Fox Red Lab. She also loves an excuse to do some baking, triple chocolate brownies and cookies are her go to! The rest of her spare time feels like it’s spent planning her wedding for June 2025.
