A spokeswoman for the REC said she was an inspirational leader and added: “She will be sorely missed by all that worked with her.”
She added that Marcia was a strong advocate of the recruitment industry and its ability to positively change people’s lives.
Angela Masters, REC chairwoman said: “Marcia was a champion of our industry, a great leader and an inspiration to members and the staff at the REC. I enjoyed her company and came to consider her a good friend.”
Gary Irvine, former REC chair, added: “It was a pleasure to work closely with Marcia during my time as chair of the REC. As well as her drive and vision, she will also be remembered for her empathy and kindness.”
“Marcia was a pleasure to work with and for,” added Judith Armatage, the REC’s director of professional development, “She had a wonderful sense of humour that could inspire those she worked with. She became a friend as well as a colleague; she made a significant contribution to improving our industry.”
