Client Testimonials

The Sheffield team offered insights which challenged some of our views yet provided us with rational and clear options for consideration. We were delighted with the final outcome and are very grateful to Ian and the team for their work.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council

Sheffield delivered in every aspect of the process, showed the utmost professionalism, were a pleasure to work with and most importantly we were able to appoint a Chief Executive that we knew came from a crop second to none and fitted our job description to a tee.

Greg Lang, Mayor, Carterton District Council

Sheffield has a strong reputation, they understood our needs and were the best fit for us. We valued the wide network Sheffield has which provided us with an outcome we were very happy with. The communication from Andrea was excellent and we felt we were well informed throughout the process. I would absolutely use Sheffield again and recommend them to others.

Michael Tayler, Board Chair, Waihi School

The search process undertaken by your research group resulted in a strong candidate list for us to make decisions on finding the best fit within our team.

Craig Coburn, General Manager People and Capability, ANZCO

We were pleased with the outcome and found the staff at Sheffield easy to work with, adaptable to our changing circumstances and requirements, efficient and very insightful. We have used Sheffield in the past and intend to do so again if required.

Joy Paterson, Chair, LineTrust South Canterbury
