I have known Nicola since 2001, during which time she has provided me with excellent support whenever I recruit. She takes the time to understand my needs and match the person to the role, saving me time and effort. The candidates are always of high calibre. I can confidently recommend Nicola as an expert in the field of insurance recruitment at all levels.

Underwriting Manager now working within a Lloyd's Syndicate
I have worked with Nicola both as a client insurer and as an individual. Often with an only outline briefing of the role, she would make sure the candidates put forward interview were carefully pre selected and as a consequence they were usually high calibre and always appropriate for the job. In a busy environment where interviewing can be a time consuming process, the amount of time this saved was very much appreciated. On a personal level, following redundancy with one employer for whom I had worked for a number of years, Nicola was able to quickly find me a suitable role with another Company, which I hadn't previously considered, but thoroughly enjoyed.

She is my first choice whether as a candidate or to meet any future resourcing requirements and I would have no hesitation whatever in recommending her to both employers and candidates.
