Harris Styles was founded by Margaret Styles, drawing upon her passion, enthusiasm and extensive experience in healthcare sales and recruitment

Margaret initially completed a Science degree followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Science, and commenced her career in research at QEII Medical Centre. Margaret traveled overseas for a number of years and was fortunate to work at the Royal Free hospital, London, where her research was published in a number of reputable journals.

When Margaret returned to Australia, she decided on a career change and entered the pharmaceutical industry as a Medical Representative. With success selling to General Practitioners in Perth, she was relocated to Sydney as a Hospital Specialist representative.

Margaret was then presented with a newly created opportunity with an international Optical company as the Manager for WA/SA and NT. Although a new challenge, Margaret made a huge contribution to the success of this company during the 90's.

Then another unique prospect presented as a Recruitment Consultant specialising in Healthcare. Margaret was very dedicated in this area, developing solid relationships within the pharmaceutical and medical industry. It was in this role she identified the need for a training course for candidates seeking to enter the healthcare industry as sales professionals, and so the journey of Harris Styles began.
