‘We used Exley Hervey to find a new Director of Trading (or Commercial Director as it turned out). I knew that this wouldn’t be straightforward and so, wanted to use a headhunter who was a retail specialist. As predicted, it wasn’t at all straightforward and involved an extensive search, but I was very pleased by the end result and the hard work, expertise and good humour which Lesley Exley put into all aspects of the task.’

‘I have had the pleasure of working with Lesley and her team on many occasions with very successful results. The depth and breadth of their knowledge regarding the industry is excellent and their creative thinking to adapt skills and structures to this ever changing retail world, has resulted in always being presented with a good group of candidates to select from.’

‘Lesley and the Exley Hervey Team understand the client culture, and help define the role that’s needed, and therefore bring together a well researched and thought through candidate/client mix‘

‘It’s rare to find such a professional search business, that I can rely on for every senior recruitment across the full range of functions within the business. The team is excellent at properly understanding the brief, uncovering every potential candidate, delivering to committed timeframes with an exceptionally personable service. We wouldn’t start a search anywhere else.’
