Testimonials

Neil Cowell - "Who better to learn from than one of our sector’s most admired leaders of the last three decades?”
David Ferguson - Seccl, CEO -
We tried many avenues to find a new strategic account director, generating many applications but no successful candidates. Simon was recommended to us. He spent time understanding the company and role and was good at taking on board feedback. We were delighted to fill the role with one of the initial candidates he put forward.
Alex Whitson - VouchedFor, Managing Director -
Simon was exceptionally good at working with us to hire a senior growth role in our business – it wasn’t an easy find given we are doing something a little different in our market. Simon worked with us to help us articulate what we needed and quickly understood our business model and culture to help us find someone that will help take our business to the next level.
Kirsty Lynagh - Seccl, Chief People & Performance Officer -
Simon excels at sourcing top-tier talent and matching them with organizations that align with their character and expertise. His ability to identify prime candidates and truly understand their strengths ensures the highest level of quality control. With extensive knowledge of the financial services industry and a warm, approachable personality, Simon is a true asset
