About Us.
We help the ambitious tell stories and grow.
We believe people change everything. They’re the biggest investment a business can make as well as your greatest asset. The key driver of growth and profitability, and a big part of the reason why teams love what they do. They’re also individuals with ambitions, skills and stories, that deserve to be matched with opportunities where they can thrive.
Our role is to connect talented marketers with ambitious businesses, aligning shared values and ambitions, understanding goals and representing both sides with real honesty and care. For clients, that means hires who make a lasting impact. For candidates, it means career moves you'll thrive in long-term. We can’t place every candidate we meet, but our aim is always to add value to the journey.
We were built around values that aren’t just words on a page and we’re a business that is fiercely committed to its values. Intent on delivering the best possible experience for both our candidates and our clients, our values underpin how we work, every day. They shape how we partner with businesses, support candidates and measure success: not just by placements, but by results and relationships that last.
With over 20 years’ experience, we don’t just fill jobs. We listen. We’re proactive. We make meaningful connections and we add value. That’s why businesses trust us, candidates recommend us, and why so many people return to us when it’s time for their next chapter.
Two Decades of Connecting Marketing Talent with Ambitious Brands. Meet Holly.
With over 20 years' experience in recruitment, I've built a trusted network of marketing, digital and creative talent across the Home Counties. I founded Next Chapter with one clear purpose; to put both candidate and client experience at the heart of recruitment. That means a process that's honest, consistent and proactive, delivering results for clients, real opportunities for candidates and an experience that feels straightforward and enjoyable for everyone.

Our Values.
Curiosity → Fresh Thinking
We don’t just skim the surface. We ask questions, explore, and stay ahead of industry shifts. For clients, that means candidates ready for the challenges of tomorrow. For candidates, it means opportunities that align with your future, not just today.
Loyalty → Relationships That Last
86% of our clients come back and many of our candidates have worked with us for over a decade, across multiple roles and career moves. We invest in long-term partnerships, not transactions because the best work happens when trust has had time to build.
Agility → Fast, Flexible, Focused
The market moves quickly and so do we. Whether it’s filling a critical role fast or helping a candidate seize a new opportunity, we adapt to your needs without losing sight of quality.

Collaboration → True Partnership
We see recruitment as a team effort. That means working alongside you, not just for you. For clients, we become an extension of your business. For candidates, we’re a coach, sounding board and your greatest advocate rolled into one.

Simplicity → Clarity in a Complex Market
Recruitment can be noisy, messy and overwhelming. We thrive on a process that is uncomplicated, efficient and effective. For clients, that saves time, and money. For candidates, it makes your career journey less stressful and more rewarding.
Proud to work with.
