Newsom Consulting have played a key role in finding senior leaders for Flowbird. The way they went about the process was spot on- transparent, with helpful updates and very good outcomes. Paul and Jim are consummate professionals in the transport space, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Managing Director – Transportation, Flowbird

I have worked with Newsom Consulting to recruit several key leadership roles. Newsom has proved to be very supportive throughout the entire recruitment process – shortlist of CV’s proving a very good comprehension of the requirements set, good information provided in the applicants report, relevant market information provided at job offer stage, etc. I have experienced a high quality service. I would be happy to work with Jim and Richard again and I would definitely recommend Newsom Consulting for recruiting key leadership roles.

Cleshar have partnered with Newsom Consulting to recruit senior appointments for several years now, and they have always provided a great service. We recently engaged with them to recruit several key senior roles in our organisation, and despite the complexities of undertaking an executive search during a pandemic, they were able to recommend a strong shortlist with a good blend of people. We were impressed with the quality of candidates they were able to attract from major companies in the sector and had a choice of several excellent candidates at final stage to appoint from. They have their finger on the pulse of the industry and I would highly recommend Newsom Consulting to others.
