  • Finance Director, Manufacturing, Lancashire

    I have worked with Lucinda from both a candidate and employer point of view for a number of years and always found her to be very professional and an excellent recruiter.

    From a candidate point of view, Lucinda is very friendly and approachable and understands my role requirements. She is always available for a call, whether there is news or not, and treats her candidates as human beings, not as a commodity.

    Similarly, from an employer point of view, Lucinda ensures she fully understands the roles, the employer’s needs and always sends appropriate candidates for interview. I would highly recommend Lucinda whether you’re looking for a role as a candidate or looking to fill a role as an employer.

  • Finance Director, Multi-Sector experience, Lancashire

    From the moment I had my first conversation with Lucinda, I knew that she was going to be able to help me in my new job search. Every step of the way, Lucinda was understanding, supportive and incredibly helpful. Her advice was clear, concise and always specific to the roles that I was interested in. At all times, she was highly professional as well being very friendly and a pleasure to work with. I have no doubt that all the assistance Lucinda gave me led to me being offered my preferred role. I cannot recommend her more highly. It’s a 5 star rating from me.

  • Group Managing Director, Manufacturing, Lancashire

    Lucinda had a refreshing approach to recruitment. She spent a lot of time listening to what I REALLY wanted and only put forward candidates that met the brief; resulting in a swift and successful recruitment activity.

  • Group Finance Director, Manufacturing, Lancashire

    Lucinda was really easy to work with, she was straight talking and to the point. Her advice was first rate and she understood her clients, and candidates, requirements perfectly. The most difficult piece of the senior recruitment process is the cultural “fit” element, Lucinda was very effective at this and in my case really helped with my decision making.

  • Counsel, Legal, Hong Kong

    Arron recently placed me in a new role at an international law firm. Throughout the interview process, he acted with integrity, counselled me candidly, and he had my trust. I didn’t doubt for a second that he was an honest broker and had my interests in mind.

    He is a consummate recruitment professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my peers.

  • Partner, Legal, Hong Kong

    Arron has been very helpful in placing several people in our office.  I have worked with Arron closely over the years and he’s one of the best recruiters I have worked with.  He is very knowledgeable about the market, genuinely nice, works very hard and gets things done for his clients.  Very impressed.
