Client Testimonials

Ian Taylor led the team responsible for our board appointments. Ian is an outstanding leader and his fingerprints are embedded in our successful search. What stood out for me was Sheffield’s ability to gain a close understanding of our business, quickly translate that into rigorous and targeted research and search activity whilst communicating seamlessly and constructively throughout the entire process.

Mark Newman, former Board Member, MOVe Logistics

We have previously partnered with Sheffield and been impressed with their service and professionalism. I appreciate Louise’s honesty when working with her and the capability of the Search team works very well. Sheffield is well connected across a variety of industries, and I knew with this being a specialised role, Sheffield would have their fingers on the pulse. This role had tight timeframes that we highlighted from the outset and Sheffield were able to deliver on this.

Francesca Eathorne, CEO, Antarctic Heritage Trust

Andrea took time to ensure she really understood what we were looking for, so that the candidates presented to us met our criteria. The advice from Sheffield was invaluable and we would certainly use them again for any key appointments.

Pam Brian, General Manager, White Fox and Jones

"WESCT (Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust) have used Sheffield for our last two director recruitment processes. Mike and Gina made the process to appoint a new Director significantly easier and in both cases we have had excellent candidates to meet and select from."

Peter Keeling, ex- Chair, Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust

The process with you has been brilliant - thanks for your support throughout Kate. I really appreciated your direct style of communication and interesting and challenging questions.
