Nigel Gardiner-Harvey, Head of Sales

Cavendish Maine provide a first class service. Cavendish Maine have a good knowledge of our business, this is reflected in the quality and experience of the candidates they refer to Creative Risk Solutions.

Jan Wilkins, Managing Director

Cavendish Maine has an aptitude for understanding our brief that stands out from many other recruitment companies.

They take time to understand our company culture, pay close attention to our team structure and work ethic. As importantly, they’re not afraid to challenge any objections if they think a candidate makes a good fit.

Over the years they’ve provided several successful candidates that are still with us today. They are a company I can trust to get results.

Greg Hendry, Managing Director

I always use Cavendish Maine for recruitment because it saves time.  They fully understand my requirements and only recommend candidates that meet the brief in its entirety. This then just leaves me to interview and select.

Mike Chapman, Sales Director

Cavendish Maine are simply a business that deliver every time. Quality candidates, highly efficient professional service and an absolute pleasure to deal with. A really refreshing approach to recruitment.

Jamie Moore, National Sales Manager

I would only ever use Cavendish Maine for Field Sales staff recruitment. They were excellent when I changed roles on a number of occasions and now that I am the recruiter, I find that they take time to understand our company, the team I am recruiting for, what the role entails and the customer base. Then they match a good selection of candidates to choose from so filling the role is quick and easy.

Tony Golby, Field Sales Manager

I have worked with Steve Mallaband, Cavendish Maine, for over 10 years now and during this time Steve has come to know me, the team and the company which makes finding the right candidate a much easier task. 

I know that Steve will only send me candidates that are the right fit for us.  On average I receive 3 phone calls or emails from recruitment companies every day, occassionally I try them out and then I always return to Steve.

Lorraine Holoway, Regional HR/Operations Manager

Cavendish Maine remain a crucial partner to support the growth of our business. From initial brief to final placement, the process is very professional, friendly and always in the best interest of our business.

Jim Simpson, Vice President of Sales

Over many years I have dealt with various consultants at Cavendish Maine from both an applicant and recruiter perspective, I have always found their approach very thorough and exceptionally professional. As a recruiter they got to know my business, hence the strength of the candidates I got to interview were very strong. Integrity in recruitment is probably the most valuable trait, Cavendish Maine demonstrate this at all times. I would highly recommend Cavendish Maine for either prospect applicants or recruiters.

Neil Johnston, Head of UK Sales

I started dealing with Cavendish Maine, along with a number of other recruitment agencies, in 2014 when the business started an investment programme in its sales teams.  We have since filled two senior National Account positions with both of the successful candidates having been introduced to us through Cavendish Maine.

I believe that their success lies in their ability to find genuinely compatible candidates suited to our requirements, something that has saved me a lot of time over the past 8 months and has enabled me to fill the required positions as quickly as possible.

I will certainly continue to keep in touch with Cavendish Maine when further recruitment opportunities arise

Paul Lichfield, DIY Sales Manager

Cavendish Maine have partnered the business for a number of years, successfully supporting the recruitment to a number of key commercial roles from area sales to director level.  The team stand out for their ability to understand the sector we operate in as well as our specific business needs, with a level of realism and pragmatism.  They always respond quickly and communicate well through the recruitment process.

Angela Wagstaff, Group Head of Human Resources

I found using Cavendish Maine very useful and have recently appointed two RSMs which came to me via the agency. Top quality people to deal with at Cavendish Maine and in turn they have provided me with excellent professional sales people.

Rob Taylor, Director

Cavendish Maine have invested time to fully understand our Company, culture and our people at Andreas Stihl.  They are an excellent recruitment partner, extremely professional at all times, who we always enjoy working with.  Their shortlisting approach is extremely thorough and we are very confident in the candidates they present to us.

Victoria Gilliland, Personnel Manager

We had a specific role we needed to recruit for within our sales team and Shelley understood the brief to a “T”. She only provided candidates that were relevant to what we wanted, which made it easier and less time consuming for us. The recruitment process was smooth and we hired an excellent candidate.

Natalie Harrison, HR Manager

The Cavendish Maine team are an integral part of my regional business at Jelf as they are my go to recruitment source. Cavendish Maine understand my business and the team dynamic we have at Jelf and so we trust them implicitly to deliver us quality candidates that will add to the skill set of our overall team. This level of trust and quality advice is hugely valuable to us and we go into every recruitment with confidence.

Julian Hilton, Regional Managing Director – Midlands & South Wales

I have worked closely with Cavendish Maine for a number of years now. They are always incredibly responsive and have always provided sterling service. In my opinion they are the best option when searching for candidates who have experience in the Greeting card sector or closely related markets.

Andy Paterson, Sales Director

Whitefurze have worked with Cavendish Maine for many years and when recruiting for any sales role, I always place the position with Shelley who has a great understanding of our business and the type of candidates who will be a good fit for us. Equally I have also worked with Shelley as a candidate and Cavendish Maine placed me in my current company – again the whole experience was good. Shelley understood what I was looking for and only put me forward for very relevant roles
