It only takes a quick glimpse out the window to see that summer has gone - the debate is out over whether it arrived at all - but Hatty Blue isn't mourning the loss of the longer days. The team have been kicking the autumn leaves on their way into work each morning, as September has marked the start of an exciting time at Hatty Blue.

We are now recruiting for WPP - the world's second largest communications services groups, which includes agencies in the areas of Advertising, Marketing, PR, New Media, Design and Media Buying & Planning. The team have been running around London meeting all their new WPP clients and have some fabulous new jobs to tell you about.

Jo is pretty busy outside work hours too, with rehearsals beginning for her next big moment on the stage - the part of Connie (a 33-year old spinster no less) in Alan Bennett's Habeas Corpus. She has until December to perfect the role.

If you fancy a new start this autumn, have a scan through our jobs below and let us know if you are the best person for the job. Hatty is also looking to extend her temping team - simply email your CV to hello@hattyblue.co.uk and we'll be in touch very soon.
