See what Mark’s clients say

I was hugely impressed by the thoughtful approach that Eton Bridge took when helping me with my own search. Mark provided lots of useful advice and acted as a sounding board for me throughout the process. Once I had settled into my new role and started to build my team Mark was the first person that I turned to for my Financial Controller position.

After gaining a thorough understanding of the requirements for the role he lined up a small number of excellent candidates and we filled the role quickly. Our new recruit has hit the ground running and is demonstrating lots of potential for successful long term career in the company.

Ben WrightCorporate Finance Director, Diamond Generating Europe Limited

I have worked with Mark for a number of years and I must say that I have never been let down! Mark has a great style which ensures that he gets the best out of the customer and walks away with a real understanding of the business, the business/functional need, the context, and the flavour for the ideal candidate. Notwithstanding this, Mark is always willing to talk through any left field candidates who might offer something special albeit that there may be gaps elsewhere. Regular dialogue is key and I feel quite at ease to pick up the phone and seek his counsel on a variety of matters. Mark offers a very professional yet friendly approach and clearly understands the market / sectors extremely well.

Julian MomenCFO, Carlsberg UK

He was extremely concerned on making sure that the fit was right, not just from TMG to me, but also from me to TMG. Mark spent a lot of time helping me in my decision making process and I was extremely appreciative of his professionalism. The move proved to be successful and Mark and I have kept in close contact since. He is a recruiter whose opinion I value and I would highly recommend.
