We have had a lot of organisational growth in the past few years, and we identified an opportunity to have a Director of HR sitting on our Executive Committee. As this was a brand new post, Basil and the team gave some expert advice on the role. This support with the prep meant that we had a really strong response to the post and Basil helped navigate us through this to get to a great shortlist, all to the agreed deadlines which can be rare in executive search! Basil’s professionalism and diligence resulted in us appointing a really strong candidate who we think will really help shape our organisation going forwards.

HR Manager

I have worked with 3 other search firms and would say Berwick Partners were better than all of them. I really could not fault Basil at all. He is the best search consultant that I have worked with in a long time.

CEO, Bright Futures Care

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.

HR Director, Bibby Line Group Limited

Basil’s in-depth knowledge of the human resources market coupled with his impressive client and assignment track record made him the obvious partner when we embarked on our recruitment process for a Head of Human Resources. He got our culture and the skills set required and articulated these positively to the market. The short list was impressive and the successful candidate has been a great addition to our organisation.
