Testimonials

Chris was tasked with the formidable challenge of helping us find an FPA Director. The position could be located in various European locations, which made the task akin to hitting a moving target. Chris stepped up admirably, mobilizing a team of seasoned recruiters across different locations in a remarkably short timeframe. Impressively, he managed to fill the role within four weeks—a feat almost unheard of for a position of such seniority.
Nicola Grieg, Head of Talent, Calderys

We worked with Chris recently when we were recruiting a new CFO. Chris provided a fabulous service, delivered against our needs and got us a strong candidate.
Andrew Milne, Group CEO, Nichols Plc - Home of Vimto

Chris did a fantastic job working on a senior CFO hire for me. We had been searching for a while through other routes, within days of turning to Chris he had a high calibre short list of candidates whom he knew personally, had vetted and could vouch for their capability. Chris was a perfect example of knowing the candidate market in his area of expertise. A successful hire was made. I couldn’t recommend Chris more highly.
Dave Temperton, HR Director, John West Foods

I worked with Chris and his wider team on two senior hires into our Finance team. The service provided was excellent – a comprehensive search, thorough screening process tailored to our requirements, and high calibre shortlist. It resulted in two great senior candidates joining our team
