Proud moment
I’m proud to say that I participated in two white collar boxing events for Children with Cancer and Cancer Research. Lost the 1st and won the 2nd!
Most memorable day
My most memorable day has to be the birth of my sons, as family is very important to me. A feeling only ever nearly matched by Tottenham’s winning goal in the Champions League semi final…
I would have no hesitation in recommending Eton Bridge. From the get-go, they make it clear and easy (evidenced by their transparent terms and frankness in the time it can take to look for unicorns). They are relationship builders above fee earners. They get PE, can sell it and will challenge you in a super supportive and helpful way. I really liked working with them and we hired a great candidate through them.
Chief People Officer PE-backed professional services organisationI was impressed by John and team’s diligent and effective approach which led to us meeting several high-quality candidates. Their approach and focus on diversity and inclusion were a real asset to us. John equally took the time and care with our internal candidates to ensure they felt a key part of the process.
Geoff Thorpe Recruitment Manager, British energy organisationEton Bridge have executed a number of complex searches for me across North America, the UK and Europe. John took the time to build productive relationships across our stakeholders and really get to know our business, even when there were no searches on the horizon. Consequently, when we were recruiting, John was able to attract people who not only had the right capabilities but are a great cultural fit. I know from the candidates Eton Bridge have placed with us that John created a hugely positive experience for them which is, of course, very important to us.
