HALE Barns resident, Neil Fineberg, has been celebrating two big birthdays this week –the 10th birthday of his award-winning recruitment agency Finegreen Associates and the arrival of his third

child, Zara.

The baby weighed in at 7lbs 7ozs at Wythenshawe Hospital.

Not that Neil is any stranger to hospitals – as his company specialises in finding personnel for healthcare clients, including senior executives at NHS hospitals and trusts.

In all he has helped to fill more than 1,000 interim and permanent vacancies since 2005 – at all levels, from clinicians to accountants and chief executives.

Neil said: “What a week – it has certainly given me a new insight into the excellent care provided by so many people working in the NHS.

“Don’t suppose many people can boast of having two birthdays at the same time - welcoming a wonderful baby girl to our family while also receiving good wishes from our clients and candidates for reaching our 10th anniversary.

“As soon as I can get some sleep, I can assure them I’ll be at their service, back in the office, escaping from the nappy changing.”
