Ben, Senior Risk Consultant, Financial Recruitment Consultancy
“When Luke initially approached me about looking outside my previous company I was tentative to say the least. Luckily however, Luke was quick to allay any concerns that I had at the time and smoothly guide me through the process. He understood my requirements in what I was looking for in a new position and his relationships enabled him to quickly arrange interviews with a well-chosen range of clients. His knowledge and experience meant he could prepare me thoroughly and he delivered prompt, constructive and honest feedback. Needless to say, the search was successful and I am now very happy in my new role. To anyone out there considering moving, I would highly recommend having a chat with Luke. As well as a deep understanding of the market, he also backs this with strong relationships and a varied range of opportunities – and all this with a sense of humor!”
