what they say

“I had always assumed that recruitment was an added expense that the business didn't need. After the FD process, I now see the added value of Blair West services and that finding the right person outweighs the cost. I now believe it's money well spent. I would recommend Blair West at the drop of a hat and would use Blair West again and plan to.”

Chris Ball Managing Director, Masterfix

“Blair West were head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to professionalism and quality of pitch document. The way they conduct themselves and present their services through the tender phase was far better than anything else the board had seen and is exactly the type of business we want to partner with.”

Luke Philpott Chief Operating Officer, Mincoffs

“The FD was a key hire for Masterfix as the business transitions to become a larger, acquisitive, PE-backed organisation. Blair West have a clear understanding of what is required in a PE-backed FD and it showed in the quality of their shortlist and candidate understanding. The shortlist was strong and varied in background, which gave the MD the opportunity to explore different skill sets whilst finding an FD he could work with long term. We believe we now have the right FD in place to build a scalable Masterfix. ”
