TESTIMONIALS

Jonathan and the team at Berwick Partners supported us on a challenging search for a Group Manufacturing Director. From their initial pitch and throughout the process they were attentive, thorough and transparent. Their access into sectors and candidates that ordinarily wouldn’t have been attracted to our position was brilliant and we had a really strong shortlist. All the candidates that we had at final stage we could have offered positions to, and all would have added value to our business and fitted our culture. To be able to have choice at the end of a process like this and have alternative options for alternative potential roles is a great position to be in. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and the team and look forward to working with them again.

Excellent understanding of the business environment, role and candidate requirements. All shortlisted candidates were credible contenders for the role which allowed the hiring team to consider a wide range of skills and experience in choosing the final candidate. Progress updates were regular and informative which ensured I knew exactly at what stage the recruitment process was at and thus enabled seamless communication to other internal stakeholders.
