I’ve known Robert for many years and have in that time both recruited through him and also taken advice and support from him as an interim exec consultant. In whatever capacity it has been Robert has in-depth and relevant knowledge of his sectors, he does have a dynamic & direct approach to action but mainly he is passionate and driven in what he does. Simply put, I trust Robert to do what he’s says he’s going to do, to have balanced objectives and to have the best interest for all parties at the heart of what he does. I wish Robert all the very best with The Whitestone Partnership and I know I will be doing business with him in the future.

Rob has continually demonstrated himself to be an asset and trusted adviser since our first interaction. His informative and collaborative approach positively guide both candidate and recruiter through the selection and engagement process. Prepared to invest his time in gathering and validating data, sharing insights and candid feedback to prepare and guide both parties to a successful appointment. Having a broad market knowledge, breadth of contacts, together with possessing the commercial acumen to interpret and appreciate the skills/experience required to achieve a positive outcome. Rob will return those late calls/emails and strive to appease all parties, demonstrating commitment and professionalism during direct engagement and beyond to foster and develop relationships.

Working with Richard on ‘hard to fill’ and critical roles has always been a joy. It’s often about more than the spec itself and his sector knowledge, willingness to challenge thinking and ability to stay close to his client even when the going gets tough has always proven welcome and valuable. This is about commitment to the client and style and I have always found Richard approachable, engaging and easy to do business with. So have candidates, something which is critical in ensuring early positive engagement on sometimes fraught and hugely demanding projects.

Richard has provided a quality service to me over the last five years. What sets him apart is his speed of response in collating a shortlist of candidates. This ability comes from his extensive market knowledge, and his own personal tenacity and drive to get the right results for his clients. His amenable and flexible approach makes him very easy to work with.
