Bio
Helen Rippon
I engaged Lynsey in 2016 to search for a CFO, a critical appointment at what was then a critical time for the organisation. I was impressed by Lynsey’s diligence and rigour in identifying a strong list of candidates, by the breadth of her search, and by the way she so quickly understood our requirements. Lynsey has a rare ability to see beyond candidates with the obvious backgrounds and to think more creatively about how a range of skills and experience might match the requirements of the role. She kept in regular touch with me throughout the recruitment cycle (and beyond) and was a real pleasure to work with. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Willie Johnstone
Lynsey's detailed approach to getting to know her candidates experience, skills (and traits) results in her being able to put the right people in business long term. I have no hesitation to continue recommending Lynsey to those who are still to find their perfect appointment.
