Testimonials

Partner & Public Sector Transport Leader, PwC

“We retained Newsom Consulting to help us find and attract several new Directors for our Public Sector Transport practice. Jim and his team really listened to what we needed, understood our values and the expectations we have for anyone joining our team. They cut to the chase on any thorny issues, which speeded up all our interactions and decision-making. We were able to hire several high-calibre candidates from the search.”

Chief Executive, Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE)

“ACE partnered with Newsom Consulting to assist us in recruiting the newly created position of Director of Communications & Marketing. We were seeking a unique blend of skills and experience, and were very pleased with the selection of candidates on the shortlist and ultimately the chosen candidate we were able to appoint. Jim and the team were enjoyable to work with, they took the stress out of recruitment and provided a personal service and genuinely cared about us finding a good quality candidate with the right culture fit for our organisation.”

Chairperson of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering

“ACE retained the services of Newsom Consulting to help us recruit our next CEO. They really listened and took our requests on board, were proactive and pushed the process through efficiently. Their candidate reports and shortlisting process were clear and helpful, with a high calibre of candidates presented, enabling us to hire a great candidate. They made the recruitment process easy for us and were a real pleasure to work with.”

Managing Director, SPL Powerlines UK

“SPL have worked with Newsom Consulting for several years and they have assisted our UK business over a period of significant growth; successfully recruiting a number of key people to leadership roles across our business, including project leadership, commercial, HSQE, business development, general management and engineering. They have a good understanding of the industry, are well networked and are easy to work with. I have subsequently recommended Jim to others and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.”

Managing Director Signalling, Transportation UK & Europe, SNC-Lavalin Atkins

“Atkins have worked with Newsom Consulting for several years now and are very pleased with the quality of their work and the customer experience. They have a deep understanding and experience in our industry and have a vast network of outstanding talent. They provided us with detailed insight on candidates at longlist and shortlist stages, took the time to understand our business, and throughout the search process I felt their commitment to delivering a great service. We value this commitment in our business partners and I highly recommend using Newsom Consulting for executive recruitment.”

Managing Director, Dynniq UK

“I first used Newsom to find an Executive Director (engineering operations). Since then I have had no hesitation in referring Jim and his team to major members of my network such as the UK’s innovation agency. I know they will provide a highly professional, objective and successful service.”

Managing Director Terminals, Freightliner

“I have always been sceptical about executive search consultants until I met Richard at Newsom Consulting, the approach and processes were professional, the pre screening proved invaluable which differentiated Newsom from the others, allowing us to focus in on a small number of credible candidates. The selected shortlist were all capable and indeed made our task of selection even harder as 4 of the 5 could have been successful, after almost a year of searching, Newsom helped us to fill the role in one appointment. Richard was great, Newsom were great and I’d highly recommend them.”

HR Director - UK/Europe G&W UK/Europe Region companies

“We have worked with Newsom Consulting on a number of strategic hires into our team. The feedback from our line managers on their work has been great. Newsom Consulting’s pre-screening process to curate strong shortlist of candidates is invaluable as it enables our leaders to focus in on interviewing a small number of credible candidates for each role they are recruiting”

Director, 4Way Consulting

“This was the first time 4way Consulting have used an executive search firm and we were naturally nervous about picking the right one when investing significant money and time. We went through a selection process and we were attracted to Newson Consulting because they felt supportive, open and honest and well informed about our particular market segment. We should not have worried, Newsom were all of this, as well as fantastic partners to work with, who provided a high quality shortlist of candidates that met with our business needs. We would not hesitate in using Newsom again and highly recommend them.”

Director of UK Power Networks Services

“UK Power Network Services recently partnered with Newsom Consulting to recruit a key strategic appointment. They provided us with a targeted candidate search and shortlist of candidates from which we were able to make a successful appointment. Throughout the engagement there was senior involvement from Newsom Consulting and they demonstrated deep knowledge of the sector and market. They were patient, thorough and professional throughout the search.”
