Testimonials

We extend heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional individuals and organisations we collaborate with. Your kind feedback fuels our passion for tailored talent solutions. Together, we shape success stories and elevate careers. Thank you for trusting Cuthbert Colvill on this remarkable journey.

Jane Coley  | CEO

Ashleigh has been simply brilliant in working alongside us at Ascend to understand our recruitment needs. She has been able to put us in touch with high calibre candidates and we have appointed a number in quick succession due to her intuition and knowledge of our specific requirements. I would recommend her without hesitation.

John Winter - CEO Weydon Multi Academy Trust

It has been a pleasure to, once again, work with Charlotte at Cuthbert Colvill.  Her attention to detail and methodical approach has resulted in us making several successful senior appointments within our Trust.  In a highly competitive employment market, we have found the approach and skill of Charlotte to be an effective solution allowing us the edge when looking for candidates of the highest calibre

Mia Pye - Headteacher

Having worked with Emma on seeking out and securing a new Deputy Headteacher for our large, London school, I can thoroughly recommend Cuthbert Colvill. I have not used recruitment specialists to secure such a senior post before, but I am delighted to say I have not been disappointed!  Not only did Emma manage to secure an outstanding field of candidates, leading to filling the post, but she was thorough, professional and extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you, Emma for helping us to secure such a successful outcome to our recruitment needs.

Ramy Sleiman - Director of Operations

Emma’s exceptional recruitment skills were instrumental in launching our company’s presence in both London and the Middle East. Her ability to identify and secure top-notch candidates ensured that we had a strong foundation to build upon. Thanks to Emma’s expertise, we were able to assemble a talented team that has made a substantial contribution to our success. 

Andrew Rudkin

Charlotte and her team are very professional, personable and productive.  Always available and a pleasure to work with.

Rich C

When working with Charlotte I found her to be honest, tenacious and helpful at every step of the recruitment journey.  She was true to her word from day 1, a principle often lacking in recruitment agencies these days! Charlotte kept me informed of all developments and actively intervened to expedite the placement process. A thoroughly top class recruitment agency who I can highly recommend.

Pete Bailey

We used Cuthbert Colvill for teacher recruitment, and we got just what we needed! Charlotte listened to what our requirements were, took time to understand the context of our school and the specific type of person we were after. The communication was excellent, the results were speedy and effective. I cannot recommend highly enough. We will definitely use Cuthbert Colvill for future recruiting!

Ajay Balu - Deputy Headteacher

Thank you for your help Emma. The process was well organised and you were very clear and helpful throughout the process. Wishing you all the best and look forward to working with you in the future.

Revd Ruth Atkinson

Emma has gone out of her way working hard to help find the right role for me.  She is professional and friendly, making me feel like a valued individual not just another candidate.  I have dealt with several recruitment agencies and Cuthbert Colvill is far above all the others
