Kerry Pimm

Co-Owner, Founder

Kerry cut her teeth in the tough, demanding world of the teleco industry working in an outbound call centre and progressing to General Manager of Optus Business Direct.

Kerry was incredibly motivated and benefited immensely from the opportunities presented by such a large company and won many awards along the way. She experienced immense pride from coaching and mentoring sales people to success.

Kerry’s introduction to the recruitment industry was with Recruitco in 2007, as General Manager of Corporate Services, a position she held for two years.

Kerry is the founder of RED Appointments, which she began as a sole trader out of a serviced office in Adelaide in July 2009. She founded the company to provide clients with a complete people solution offering to their business. This was the start of the journey to build RED Appointments into a multi-dimensional Human Resource and Recruitment Agency trading across all States and Territories of Australia.

Kerry’s thoughts on success are a blend of initiative, vision, work ethic, and a strong desire to do whatever it takes to be successful.
