Sophie Lofty

As a Recruitment Consultant specialising in aviation at Mane Contract Services, I bring a unique blend of enthusiasm and dedication to connecting top talent with leading organisations in the aerospace sector. My role allows me to immerse myself in the fascinating world of aviation, constantly expanding my knowledge of the industry's various facets. This continuous learning process not only enhances my ability to match candidates with the right opportunities but also fuels my passion for contributing to the growth and innovation within the aviation sector.

My approach to recruitment is characterised by a keen attention to detail and a genuine interest in understanding both the technical requirements of our clients and the career aspirations of our candidates. Whether I'm sourcing B1 Engineers for business jets or seeking B1/B2 Licensed Engineers for ATR aircraft, I take pride in my ability to identify not just the right skill set, but also the perfect cultural fit for each position. This comprehensive approach ensures that I can facilitate connections that are beneficial for both the employers and the professionals I work with.

Prior to my career in recruitment, I spent 18 years as a dancer, culminating in performances on the West End. This background has instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, creativity, and the ability to perform under pressure - skills that translate remarkably well into the fast-paced world of aviation recruitment. My experience in the performing arts also enhances my communication skills and my ability to build rapport with a diverse range of individuals, from seasoned aviation professionals to those just starting their careers in the industry. This unique combination of my theatrical background and my growing expertise in aviation allows me to bring a fresh perspective to recruitment, ensuring that I can offer a truly personalised and effective service to both clients and candidates in this dynamic sector.
