julie hamilton
Julie Hamilton founder of PretAmour ran a successful headhunting and HR consultancy business for over 10 years based in London working with top international blue chip clients. Having recently had a fascinating personal experience with internet dating and is currently in the middle of writing her book, she was prompted by her close friends, ex clients and business partner to launch Pretamour to the English speaking international market in 2007. Presenting a totally different and sensible approach to the age old mystery of how and where can I find my ideal partner and soul mate, PretAmours exclusive dating and matchmaking consultancy works on the inside out and bases its work on the Laws of Attraction. 
Julie has been featured in the UK's Institute of Directors, Director Magazine and the Financial Times particularly for her work with internationally stressed executives, Living Well Magazine, the BBC for her work with careers, four times main conference speaker at an IT national career conference and has been included in various other national press articles relating to business issues.
Throughout her 10 years being a skilled headhunter and a practitioner in the latest psychological profiling and assessment techniques together with her vast coaching and personal development experience she set up PretAmour as an alternative to the impersonal and risky internet dating market.
Julie trained in Myers Briggs and Cattels 16PF back in 1994 whilst gaining her NLP Business Practitioner Certificate in 1997. She has profiled many hundreds of executives using Saville and Holdsworths' OPQ over the last 10 years since being qualified and is trained in various other psychological profiling systems she uses from time to time.
Focusing on the principle of mind, body and spirit integration, PretAmour's dating experts will transform you by giving you tools for life for a sustainable, healthy and loving relationship.
Julie's first matchmaking success was in 1985 where she helped match her best friend's mother and current boyfriend's older friend, they married 2 years later and are still together today.
Currently based in Marbella, Spain and London, she works globally with her international clients helping them find love

In the early 90's he was invited to join one of the UK's leading IT Recruitment companies, Computer People (now part of Addecco Corporation) and was responsible for and developing client relationships through a range of projects, such as search and selection campaigns, for some of the UK's foremost businesses including Direct Line Insurance, Ernst & Young (CGEY), CSC and Hughes Aircraft (Raytheon Corporation). At the same time he was headhunting for companies within the SME and start-up marketplace, where hiring key personnel in the early stages was critical to the success of the venture.
Don's experience embraced several sectors including Financial Services, Consultancy and New Technology markets being retained for international and multi cultural recruitment campaigns. A large proportion of his assignments involved sensitive appointments where discretion and confidentiality were of the utmost importance.
