Meet The Team
The McKinnel Success Story:
Our People.
Corrina Mckinnel
Founder/Director
Corrina is our Founder/Managing Director. She has grown the company's
success from her 17 years of experience in the UK and Australia.
Beginning in 2008, Corrina swiftly rose through the ranks, became an
Associate Director in 2016, and found her expertise in strategic growth and
recruitment delivery while leading high-performing teams and mentoring
trainees. Her genuine passion for the sector, a talent for rising to challenges,
and a gift for building solid and respectful relationships in a tough
industry underpins Mckinnel Associates consistent excellence.​
Corrina's biggest lesson since starting Mckinnel Associates has been to delegate
unfamiliar tasks early to spend time and energy focusing on the tasks of her natural ability.
She believes that her success to date is due to her ability to develop sustainable, solid relationships
and be attentive and inquisitive to her clients' and candidates' needs. Corrina is proud of how
her team genuinely supports and encourages each other, celebrates each other's
successes, and works collaboratively towards their goals.
Originally from Bolton, UK, in 2017 Corrina brought herself (and her northern accent!) to Australian shores to
start an exciting new life, full of out outdoor adventures and successful business ventures!
