Joe Bannister

Lead Consultant at Arthur Edward Associates

Joe entered the world of beauty recruitment in 2016, when he joined Arthur Edward. Through mentorship and hands-on experience he developed the knowledge, skills, and industry connections that supported his progression to Lead Consultant.  

Throughout his career, Joe has expanded his network by attending industry exhibitions and events, and as an active member of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the British Society of Perfumers. His deep understanding of the beauty industry, combined with his talent for matching candidates with ideal opportunities, makes him a go-to recruiter for top talent in cosmetic science and technical roles. 

I’ve learned the importance of building strong, lasting relationships with supportive colleagues and mentors. A network of people who you can ask questions and seek guidance from, without judgement. These connections have supported my personal and career development, and helped me navigate challenges, proving that success is a collaborative journey.
