Testimonials
David Linklater
Asia Region Finance Director at TUI Travel PLC
I have known Rob for over 5 years and have always been impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and integrity. Rob has always been extremely supportive and integral to my search for senior executive roles. Rob truly stands apart from all others in his field.
Simon Jones
Head of Commercial Finance, Poundland
Amanda has consistently demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and integrity in assisting with my recruitment needs. She really takes the time to understand our business; as a result she has been instrumental in successfully appointing two highly talented analysts to my department in the last two years who both have massive potential for the future. She has therefore played a key role in the unearthing of real talent for our business – in other words, she has delivered real, concrete results which is the best measure of any recruiter.
David Elliott
Finance Director, EMEAI Operations, Valspar Europe
As a recruitment consultant and advisor Rob is amongst the most pragmatic and professional of people that I have met. He understands both his profession and the finance world and does not see recruitment as a numbers game. Rather he sees his role as an important facet in helping his clients be successful.
Chris Yearsley
Head of FP&A, PDSA
With a lot of recruitment consultants you generally get that feel of a “salesperson” i.e. someone who is just after their commission. Duncan is quite the opposite; he looks to maintain a long term relationship with his clients by genuinely aiming to source the right person to meet your requirements. He has now placed 50% of my team, and I have no regrets with any of my decisions. He is a very personable, trustworthy guy who delivers great results. I will continually use Duncan in the future to help with any recruitment requirements
