Testimonials
I have known David for many years and always enjoyed working with him. I worked with David recently when he placed me into my current role. It was a lengthy process and David was excellent throughout, keeping me informed of the process, the individuals I would meet and their styles. I felt that he treated me as if I was his client rather than the bank. I would highly recommend David to both prospective hiring managers as well as to potential candidates!

Global COO, European Wholesale Bank
I can highly recommend David for the recruitment of senior roles in the financial services sector. David takes the time to really understand the brief, to get behind the core skills required, and , often overlooked, to ensure the right personality fit for the team to ensure his short list hits the mark . He has an extensive network, runs a very efficient and professional process and is a pleasure to deal with on both a personal and professional basis.
CEO, U.K FinTech
I have worked with David over many years both to recruit and to be placed myself. He has a unique ability to get to the heart of the actual role requirements (not just the paper spec) and as a result presents quality candidates that truly bring something different to the table. Highly recommended as a thoughtful and effective head-hunter who operates with professionalism and integrity.
