I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for your efforts in finding and placing the right candidate with us.

The approach proposed and the way that you worked to select and complete the process was impressive and has yielded a great result. Thank you for responding to our challenges and also, pushing back appropriately – it’s always great to work with partners who enable a collaborative approach, to drive forward the right result.

Working with Sandra and the team was a really positive experience. They were hugely professional and delivered the brief to a high standard and within the plan we agreed at the outset. We were regularly kept up to date and didn’t have to chase anything. Her support was greatly appreciated from building the brief to finalising the appointment.

We engaged Basil leRoux from Berwick Partners to find a replacement for our HR Director who was retiring. In the initial meeting with me, he demonstrated a good understanding of the brief and provided some useful insight into the market. During the search his responsiveness was excellent and I was particularly pleased with the speed at which he worked in sourcing individuals as we were keen to ensure an overlap with the incumbent. From his shortlist a number of the candidates were appointable and the individual selected has already had a significant impact on our business.

We sought out Berwick Partners to enhance our recruitment efforts in bringing in new talent. Simon Walton demonstrated true commitment in our searches and the entire team showed professionalism and passion. They took the time to understand our unique requirements, company culture, and long-term goals, allowing them to tailor their approach and deliver solutions that were aligned with our needs. We look forward to continuing to work with them in future.

When the former CEO of the Smallpeice Trust resigned earlier this year after 10 years in post, the Trust faced the challenge of finding an appropriate successor. The post is a complicated mix of requirements needing a range of skills. From start to finish, Will provided us with a very competent and professional service. He interviewed key Trustees and the Chair of the Trust at length and teased out the details of the role. He drafted the job specification and checked this with us, always providing good insight into the optimum approach. The response to the search and advertising was impressive. We had some 125 applications. He screened these for us developing a long list of 14 candidates for our consideration. He talked through the candidates with the Trustees responsible for the recruitment and narrowed down to 12 whom he interviewed. This took us to a short list, and together we agreed the 5 we should interview. One pulled out the day before the interview, but the remaining 4 were outstanding. The interview panel all agreed that any of these final 4 would be excellent for the job. We unanimously chose our preferred candidate who starts in January. The Trust very appreciative of Will’s hard work and commitment.

Berwick Partners have done an excellent job supporting The Goldsmiths’ Company with recruiting for our Director of Operations vacancy earlier this year and our Clerk and Chief Executive Officer vacancy this summer. Will Pringle and his team provided valuable and sensible recruitment advice, delivered a professional and efficient service to us and prospective candidates, and really “got” the commission. Berwick Partners have also helped us attract a wide range of talented and diverse applicants, which has led to the appointment of two women senior leaders, including our first-ever female CEO in the Company’s history. I highly recommend Berwick Partners to potential customers seeking an executive search firm that delivers excellent results.

It was a pleasure working with Will and his team in the recruitment for the position of Director of The Tank Museum.  In all we had 120 applicants with an excellent long list and extremely competitive shortlist from which we were able to select a candidate who was an excellent fit for our organisation.  We were well briefed at each stage of the recruitment and benefitted from Will’s knowledge and experience of the market, the potential candidates and the best way to position the Museum.

We recently worked with Will Pringle on a role that we had struggled to gain an external perspective on the candidate market for previously, and had been through a couple of unsuccessful attempts at recruiting. Will was recommended and from the start gave us confidence that there were candidates out there and was knowledgeable about the type of candidates and sectors that he would approach. The longlist and shortlist process was super-efficient and professional and out of a strong shortlist with true variety and diversity we selected a fantastic candidate. The whole process was stress free from a client perspective and I have no doubt we will partner with Berwick Partners and Will again. Thank you!

We were seeking an unusual post in HE (Higher Education); a combination of operation and strategic spanning professional services and academic. Alex took the time to understand the brief in detail. She asked relevant and important questions about our draft job description and brought her extensive experience of the sector to the discussions. When she took the job to market, we were impressed with the range and high quality of the candidates; and the shortlisted candidates all expressed very favourably how smoothly the process had gone and how well informed they were throughout. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to work with Alex again in future.

Mitch and the team provided an excellent service, resulting in a very successful recruitment. I would highly recommend their services to anybody looking to hire senior level finance professionals.
