Carter Corson

Carter Corson was founded in 1999 by Hazel Carter and John Corson to explore their shared interest in human behaviour and business. They met whilst headhunting execs for an international recruitment firm - Hazel was retraining to be a psychologist, after a successful career in business turnaround and John was a Certified Accountant who'd switched t... o recruitment after a successful executive career. They became convinced that there was a better way to get results through, with, and for the senior people within an organisation - and that it required a blend of disciplines. From this conviction, Carter Corson was born. The early days were terrifying, with just one client in a market that had never heard of Business Psychologists and a tiny office in Central Manchester. Within months Hazel was diagnosed with a brain tumour and her sister Jennifer, studying psychology at Cardiff, offered to help for a few months as Hazel recovered from surgery. Fifteen years later Hazel continues to head up the business, with Jennifer now a Director on the board with ten years' service having returned to University to complete her Masters and spend a few years experiencing life in a major organisation before joining the 'family firm'. Today, Carter Corson still blends business with an insatiable curiosity about people - why they do what they do and want what they want - and how to harness that knowledge for the organisations who employ them.Read More
