Working with Bianca was fantastic. She helped me view my CV from a totally different perspective and helped tailor it to speak to the people I really want to work with.
Bianca is holistic in her approach and I learned more about myself than I thought - and had no idea that a task like this could actually be quite fun too!
Highly recommend!

Reply from Bianca Tonkin - Holland Park Solutions
It was a pleasure and I am so glad you found it helpful :-)
What do you love most about your job?
I really enjoy helping others to manage their day to day without stress. I really love finding solutions to obstacles and problems large and small.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been self employed for 16 years as both a recruiter and as a personal assistant. Honest answer is that my dog was too old to take to the office anymore and home working wasn't really a thing for PAYE employees 16 years ago. So I solved the problem by working for myself. I have the dog to thank for that change and I have never looked back.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have many years of experience and I am calm and good humoured. If can't deliver what is needed I will know someone who can or know how to source that person, so I am safe pair of hands who knows their skill set. Although after many years, my experience is now very varied and I really enjoy the challenge of new problems to solve.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I mostly work remotely however for London based clients I can attend meetings or do days in the office or at your home as needed.
