The Rolton Group asked Holtby Turner to help with our planned business growth by securing a business development senior manager. HT acted as trusted advisors rather than just recruiters and took time to understand our culture and personalities in order to find the right person. They provided a very strong shortlist and gave us a valuable insight into the candidates before guiding us through the interview process which led to a very successful appointment. In addition, they identified an experienced business strategy consultant who has been invaluable in helping us formulate our growth plans.
