Client Testimonials

Sheffield worked with us to understand what we wanted to achieve, the type of person we wanted to find, then did a great job researching the market and helping us secure the person we wanted to work with.

Peter Sewell, Director, Rubix

Katy understood our concepts of leadership and I remember noting that that was one of the key differences between Sheffield and the other companies. Katy was most professional throughout the recruitment process and if I was recruiting again Katy would be our first and only call.

Simon Taylor, Director, Armstrong Downes Commercial

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

I cannot speak highly enough of the expertise and professionalism of Mike Stenhouse and the team at Sheffield when assisting the Club in this appointment...It was a pleasure working with, and being assisted by, the Sheffield team.

Sarah Pearson, Committe Member, Arrowtown Golf Club

I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well. Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown
