ELEXON Feedback

“Harrison Bridge successfully found a new Director of Strategy and Communications for us recently at Elexon to join our Executive team. Our requirements were complicated requiring a peculiar mix of skills but they found a solid (and genuine) long list from which we shortlisted great candidates. What impressed me was their commitment and drive plus they challenged us to refine and prioritise our needs. Throughout they communicated fully and delivered each milestone to the agreed timeline”.

Mark Bygraves, CEO, ELEXON

“If Carlsberg did recruitment …. What lovely people. I have not really had much experience of recruitment consultants but have read plenty of negative reviews. I must say Harrison Bridge dispelled them all! Thanks for all your help Lee”.

Angela Love, Director of Strategy and Communications, ELEXON
