Ibstock, HR Business Lead
bpesearch delivered an impressive shortlist and we’ve hired an outstanding individual from a process that was thorough, professional and joined up with the key stake holders in our business. Andy provided valuable counsel, guidance and expertise at each step of the way by listening to our needs and challenging where appropriate. He clearly demonstrated the value in our choosing a search partner that brings insight, knowledge and understanding of the market place in which he operates. We’re thrilled with the appointment we’ve made and more so having been able to secure an individual that helps to further provide gender balance to our senior leadership team
Britvic, Chief Marketing Officer
Appointing a new Marketing Director was a crucial building block in completing our Senior Leadership Team. This meant being absolutely clear on the brief and in selecting the right search partner. bpesearch spent the time in scrutinizing as well as challenging the brief to ensure there was clear alignment on not only the skills and experience required, but the mind-set and attitude of someone who would have the ability to help take us and our marketing forward in a significant way. The process was excellent and robust, but equally flexible and adapted to our needs. Most importantly, they invested time to learn who we are and what makes us different, and then brought this to life in an authentic manner enabling candidates to see the beating heart of our business. We were highly impressed with the calibre of the shortlist and are thrilled with the quality of the appointment. We are very happy to have partnered with bpesearch and we would most certainly recommend them as an Executive Search partner.

The project was executed swiftly and with just the right amount of attention and contact from our side. They delivered an excellent shortlist of candidates with a very interesting range of backgrounds and attributes. Ultimately we ended up with a great final choice whom we anticipate will make a step difference to our business.”
Marshalls, HR Director
Working with the team at bpesearch was an excellent experience. They take an extremely hands on approach to placing candidates – in my case they not only found me a great role and prepared me thoroughly throughout the selection procedure, but gave me real honesty and clarity around every aspect of the job and team I would be joining. bpesearch is now the first call I make when I want to find a new challenge – and also when I need to strengthen my own senior leadership team.

Experian, Chief Human Resources Officer
The quality of the candidates and shortlist presented speaks volumes for the way that BPE Search worked on our behalf. We had an unenviable task selecting from an incredibly strong talented group. It therefore goes without saying that we are thrilled with our new appointment. Our thanks go to Andy and the team. We would highly recommend BPE Search and would be delighted to work with them again.

Partnering with bpesearch is always a hugely positive experience from start to end. We involved their consultants in the early scoping phase of projects and we have found that the market insight and consultative approach they bring gives us a competitive advantage in the building of profiles and teams. There is no doubt that this has paid dividends in the recruitment process.
