Sad News

Posted on 17 March 2025

It is with profound sadness that I share the news of Kate Eccott's passing, after a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family.

 

Kate and I began working together in January 2014 and she quickly became an integral part of my recruitment team. Her passion for connecting with clients and candidates was evident in every conversation. Kate had a unique ability to connect with people on a personal level, always striving to find the best opportunities for them.

 

As friends, Kate and I shared many outrageous discussions, recounting stories from our lives and experiences. We often found ourselves laughing about the ups and downs of life, finding humour in the challenges we faced professionally and personally.

 

Kate was a tremendous support when I founded Merritt Recruitment. Her advice and encouragement were invaluable, even when her health was not at its best. Her unwavering support and positive spirit were a constant source of strength.

 

I will deeply miss Kate's friendship and laughter. Rest in peace, Kate.
