Client Testimonials

Sheffield has a strong understanding of complex sectors and are incredibly well-connected in local and offshore markets. Ian Taylor and his team are thoughtful and thorough. They have always conducted a professional and confidential process, securing highly experienced candidates for our consideration and appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Sheffield.

Julia Raue, Chair, Move Logistics

Having placed our previous GM, Sheffield was familiar with our organisation’s requirements. This resulted in a smooth process that was professionally and successfully managed. We were happy with the outcome, and successfully appointed our new General Manager.

David Barker, Chair, Rural Livestock

We have enjoyed our experience....everyone was very approachable, efficient with their work and time and always available. We would happily use Sheffield again".

Jan Early, Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation, Chair

Andrea gave a very positive presentation and had been involved in several similar appointments. Based on this, we decided to partner with Sheffield for the appointment of the new Principal/Headmaster. I would strongly support another school deciding to use Sheffield for a similar appointment.

Tony Deavoll, Chair, Shirley Boys' High School

The Sheffield team offered insights which challenged some of our views yet provided us with rational and clear options for consideration. We were delighted with the final outcome and are very grateful to Ian and the team for their work.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council
