Two of our partners had a successful history of recruiting for Sigma, placing in a Head of Accounting and an interim. This had given us a solid understanding of the business and the PE investor, Three Hills Capital. Our relationship with the CFO was a relatively new one, but we had known of his reputation and track record for many years. Our history with the business and our relationship with the CFO, made the challenge of recruiting a new Finance Director a very attractive one for us.

“This was an excellent search to be involved in. Many factors added to the challenge of finding the right candidate, personality, technical ability, experience in working within a similar sized business or private equity exposure. The CFO had a realistic view of what he needed (albeit to a very high standard). The key to making this process so successful from our side was the regular communication and feedback as the process evolved.”
