Kelly Wadkins

Contact Details

I am a Director at Sacco Mann based in London and I personally specialise in Shipping & International Trade Law. I deal with clients in London, Greece, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and New York; working with international and boutique law firms, ship owners, P&I Clubs and oil majors.

Working exclusively within Maritime law means as a team we have an unparalleled market knowledge and a strong network of talented shipping lawyers in all of the major shipping hubs. We work in close partnership with our clients to ensure we are up to date with changes in the shipping market worldwide and the recruitment trends that arise in relation to it.

I have a passion for good quality recruitment and I am proud to be part of the team at Sacco Mann.  We have built up a strong network of contacts and clients over the years and are pleased to be the recruiter of choice with a significant number of Shipping clients across internationally.

What else should you know about me?

Originally from Liverpool, I relocated to the South, but I insist on keeping my Scouse accent.

If I wasn't doing what I'm doing now, what alternative career would I choose and why?

My original career choice was law. I think if I hadn't ventured into the world of legal recruitment, I would have pursued a career at the bar.

Likes: Tom Jones - embarrassingly I have seen him live twice.  Chinese food and holidays.

Dislikes: Falling over every time I go on a client visit.  Watching my husband play cricket. Shell suits.

Five words that describe me:  Friendly, assertive, sarcastic, loyal, generous
