  • I have worked with Andy as a client and candidate for many years now. He is an excellent recruiter who has taken the time to understand me and get to know the businesses I have worked in. His knowledge of the local marketplace and candidates is second to none. Whether I am building a team or looking for something outside his scope he is always happy to help. His shortlists are concise and most of my best hires have come through Andy. He is also upfront and honest if my criteria or salary expectations are out and isn't scared to say that skill set just isn't available at that point. I can't recommend Andy highly enough and I will continue to use him going forward for all my future recruitment.

  • The recruitment for our Finance Director was made simple thanks to lain taking the time to listen to our needs and tap into his extensive network in the region. Each step of the search was thorough, timely and professional and we are very pleased with the service and finding a great match for this crucial hire.

    - Rob, CEO

  • l've known lain for a number of years and we have always kept in touch. He is very much about getting to know you as a person before putting you forward for a role you may be interested in. I've always found him to be honest about suitability for a role and on more than one occasion have been guided by lain's experience and knowledge in deciding not to pursue an opportunity. lain stands out for me personally in the sector as the sort of recruiter I would recommend both to employer and candidate alike.

    - Russell, CFO

  • Andy reached out to me when I was looking for a new role - he mentored me through the whole process and really listened and understood what my strengths were and how best to sell in the market. He found me a role, which I successfully got. Throughout the year I was in this role he regularly kept in contact with me to see how I was doing. When that role was made redundant I didn't think twice in contacting Andy. And again Andy listened and again a role became available which was a perfect fit. I got the role in November last year. I can highly recommend Andy and his team, they go the extra mile and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
