When Ciara’s not out scuba diving or parenting at the weekend she can be found working in her garden.

Heather has a fiercely independent daughter, called Freya and a Welsh Pembroke Corgi called Alby, who is a very good boy but unfortunately not allowed into GS2 HQ (building rules)!

Naz Bhad

Director – Head of Practice, GS2 Built

Growing up Naz graduated from the University of Kingston, where he studied Business and Managerial Economics, and whilst growing up he wanted to be a pilot, he has since set his sights on flying high within the recruitment world instead!

Outside of work Naz immerses himself in all things football - specifically Arsenal! and further supporting charities which are close to him, specifically the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

Josh Huggins

Founder

Josh founded GS2 after selling his previous recruitment business and has worked within the industry since 2010. Initially starting out predominantly within IT recruitment, Josh moved on to HSE and HSEQ where he progressed through the company, completing the sale of the business in 2020.

Josh founded GS2 in May 2022 with the purpose of connecting those that believe in leaving the world better than they found it, focusing on the rising need for positive social and environmental reform.

Growing up Josh wanted to be a footballer, however, he gave up on the professional dream after a year at the age of 19 - he wasn’t good enough! Josh did, however, continue to play semi professionally for over 10 years, making it to the first round of the FA cup two years in a row, live on BT Sport!

Josh has two children, a gorgeous curly haired son called Hugo and an incredible step son called Oscar who suffers from a condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

Josh regularly raises money for SMA charities by taking part in various activities, more recently completing the South Downs Challenge, the London Marathon and The Cleveland Way.
