About Lauren
As an Interior Specialist Recruiter at Bespoke Crew Recruitment, I connect exceptional interior talent with world‑class superyachts, bringing a blend of industry insight, relationship‑driven recruitment, and a deep understanding of what it takes to thrive at sea.

My foundation was built in the Royal Navy, where I learned discipline, resilience, and the importance of teamwork in high‑pressure environments. Those early years shaped the way I work today – with precision, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. They also gave me a natural appreciation for life onboard, the demands of vessel operations, and the calibre of individuals needed to keep a yacht running smoothly.

In my role at Bespoke Crew, I specialise in placing interior crew who bring not only special technical skills but emotional intelligence, and the right cultural fit for each yacht. I take pride in truly getting to know both clients and candidates, ensuring every placement supports long‑term success, strong team dynamics, and an elevated guest experience. Whether it’s a Spa Stew, Nurse, or Pilates Instructor, I’m passionate about guiding careers and supporting yachts in building exceptional interior teams.

Interesting facts:
I spent a couple of years as a competitive bodybuilder in the bikini division. Standing on stage, glowing a very unnatural shade of orange in front of hundreds of people, was wildly out of character for me – and yet I absolutely loved the challenge, the discipline, and the adrenaline of it all.

These days, my competitive streak has shifted to long‑distance running. I’ve completed everything from half marathons to ultra‑marathons, with my favourite race being a 50km along the Jurassic Coast where I placed 2nd. As you can probably tell I have a love for pushing my limits!

Where you’ll find me at the weekend now I’m land-based?
These days, you’ll usually find me clocking up miles along the promenade as I train for my next race, or out on long coastal walks with my Frenchie and my boyfriend. And when the miles are done, nothing beats a cosy pub, a pint of Guinness, and a Sunday roast to round off the week.
