Stephanie worked with me to obtain my most recent position and it was without doubt the best experience I’ve had working with an Executive Search Consultant. She not only approached me with the perfect role but went above and beyond throughout the whole process as well. Nothing was too much trouble and I was kept informed at all points through various discussions and negotiations. She is attentive without being annoying and very transparent. She will always act in your best interests which makes her a very trust worthy consultant to work with. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you again Stephanie!

Callum Ogden FPFS – Chartered Financial Planner

Stephanie invests her time in understanding what is key to the candidate when considering future roles. She does not bombard you with opportunities that don’t fit your remit and will always reference previous discussions when checking in with you from time to time. Far too often recruitment executives will have scant records of previous conversations and completely miss that fact that candidates don’t generally have the time to provide a full history when they have provided this previously. Stephanie will be honest with the opportunity and not waste anyone’s time – top drawer recruiter and highly recommended.

Shaun McMahon – Strategic Development Director

Stephanie is a consummate professional. Well connected, she has an innate understanding the UK Retail Wealth market but most importantly she is a great human being and acts with the utmost integrity & compassion in her dealings with clients. She recognised that our interactions were driven by a human element from my perspective and importantly she gave me both the space & support I needed to reach the ultimate decision. I would not hesitate to engage Stephanie in the future either as client or candidate, she is a pleasure to deal with.
