11th November 2026 – The Curve Group Celebrates 15 Years of Transformational Leadership from Chief Operating Officer Kelly York
The Curve Group is proud to celebrate a significant milestone as Chief Operating Officer, Kelly York, marks 15 years with the business.
Since joining The Curve Group in 2011, Kelly has played a central role in the organisation’s evolution and growth, helping shape the business into the HR and Recruitment professional services partner it is today.
Over the last 15 years, Kelly has held a number of senior leadership positions within the organisation before being appointed Chief Operating Officer in 2020. During that time, she has been instrumental in strengthening and evolving The Curve Group’s advisory and outsourced service capabilities, supporting organisations to design, develop and optimise their people and talent functions.
With extensive experience across HR and recruitment advisory, consultancy and operational delivery, Kelly specialises in designing scalable people solutions aligned to wider commercial objectives. Her expertise spans audits and diagnostics, change and transformation programmes, outsourced service delivery and the development of target operating models, supporting organisations through both strategic evolution and operational delivery.
Known for her collaborative and delivery-focused approach, Kelly works closely with clients and teams to bridge the gap between strategy and execution – combining insight-led thinking with practical implementation to deliver measurable business outcomes.
Reflecting on her 15-year milestone, The Curve Group COO Kelly York said:
“Looking back over the last 15 years, I feel incredibly proud of what we’ve built together as a business and grateful for the opportunities I’ve had along the way. The Curve Group has continually evolved, and being part of that journey – supporting clients through growth, transformation and change – has been hugely rewarding.
What has always stood out to me is the quality of the people around me. We’ve built a business that genuinely values collaboration, partnership and doing the right thing for clients and colleagues alike. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside an exceptional team and I’m excited about the next stage of our journey as we continue to grow our professional services offering.”
Jeanette Ramsden, CEO of The Curve Group, added:
“Kelly has played an incredibly important role in shaping The Curve Group over the last 15 years, and we are exceptionally fortunate to have her. She brings a unique combination of strategic thinking, operational excellence and an unwavering commitment to both our clients and our people.
As we’ve evolved into a broader professional services business, Kelly has been instrumental in helping us strengthen our capability, delivery and client partnerships. Her ability to combine commercial focus with genuine care for people is something very special.
On a personal level, it has also been an absolute privilege to work alongside Kelly for so many years. Many people talk about colleagues who become lifelong friends, and that perfectly captures what Kelly has become to so many of us. She is hugely respected, deeply valued and an incredibly important part of who we are as a business.”
