I would highly recommend Nick Allwood, an exceptionally talented HR recruiter I have had the privilege of working closely with for over 10 years. Over the time I’ve known Nick, he has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of talent acquisition and an unwavering commitment to excellence. 

Nick possesses a unique ability to identify and connect with top talent across diverse industries. His knack for understanding both the technical requirements of a role and the cultural needs of an organisation ensures that candidates meet the brief, and time taken to interview is worthwhile. Nick is professional, down to earth and has the ability to build meaningful long-term relationships, with candidates and hiring managers alike. His approach alongside his strong communication and experience, has made him a trusted advisor in the recruitment process. 

Nick genuinely cares about finding not just any hire, but the right hire, ensuring long-term success for both the individual and the organisation. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick for any opportunity where his skills and passion for connecting people with opportunities can be utilised.

I'm absolutely delighted you and Nick have set up together. From a candidate perspective, we really needed an injection of fresh energy in the job market especially a Recruitment Partner with strong values and morals.

I know from personal experience and feedback from the HR social forums, candidates and companies really value a Recruitment Partner that understands them, their needs and is in it for the long run!

Nick and I have worked together a couple of times and I’ve found that on those occasions his approach has always been really pragmatic and collaborative.

He listens to the brief and the need, asking thoughtful and insightful questions, and comes at it with a genuine curiosity.

The team has placed some great roles for us and I think this is through that genuine desire to understand the business and our needs over everything else.

Nick’s knowledge of the market and the sector speaks for itself and I’ve always recommended him as a trusted expert.

I have known Kerry for over 20 years, she is incredibly well networked, supportive, honest and operates with the upmost integrity.

She has been a confidant, and a true partner. I have worked with Kerry as a candidate and also as a recruiter. I would recommend working with Kerry to support your recruitment requirements.

Kerry’s knowledge of the HR community is second to none. With her integrity, authenticity, and true care for the people and organisations she works with, Kerry has been able to build an incredible network of lasting relationships. With this, Kerry takes the time to truly understand the needs of both the candidate and the client, connecting talented individuals with organisations where they will truly shine.

Beyond placing talent, she champions the growth of the HR community, sharing insights and building connections that extend beyond recruitment.

Kerry & Nick have a fantastic knowledge of Talent in the North and are a go to for both delivery and knowledge. Their expertise has helped on a number of occasions, with their pragmatic yet commercial guidance solving many talent related problems.

Nick has supported me through a large part of my career development over the past 4 years. He is attentive and just gets it in terms of understanding your development needs and what that next opportunity means. This has been invaluable in helping me fulfil my career aspirations! I would trust Nick with all of my recruitment needs also, as he has a great understanding of HR roles, demands and how this all operates within the industry and organisation you are in.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nick for many years, both as a client and a candidate, and he has consistently demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, market knowledge, and trustworthiness. Nick takes the time to truly understand — whether it’s supporting your own career progression or sourcing talent for your organisation. His deep market insights and tailored approach make him an invaluable partner.

I have worked with Nick for many years now and have always received an excellent service.

Most recently, Nick helped me to recruit two senior HR professionals and his dedication to understanding the roles and culture was unmatched.

I always reach out to Nick whenever I have recruit needs and am confident he will deliver!

I was incredibly grateful for the support and guidance provided by Kerry during my search for a Senior Executive HR role. From the very first interaction, it was clear that Kerry genuinely cared about her candidates, had a deep understanding of my profession, and was committed to supporting me during the process and finding the best fit for me.

Kerry took the time to understand my skills and career goals, get to know me personally and provide valuable advice and feedback. Kerry's professionalism, communication, and dedication to my success made all the difference.

As an HR Director, I know what excellence looks like for a professional executive search and what it should look and feel like as a candidate and Kerry provided that service. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Kerry in the future, and she would definitely be a trusted partner for me as a senior HR professional in Executive Searches for top talent.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nick Allwood over the past 13 years, and I am thrilled to see him take the exciting step of establishing his own consultancy.

Nick is a true expert in recruitment and business partnering at all levels, and I have always believed that when you excel at what you do, ‘you’ become the brand—not just the organisation you work for. Nick epitomises this belief as an exceptional personal brand in the industry.

Nick’s ability to tackle complex hiring challenges with a collaborative, solution-oriented approach is remarkable. As a trusted partner, he consistently delivers valuable advice and support that align with the right business outcomes. His depth of knowledge and credibility in his field are second to none, and his professionalism and dedication to sourcing top talent make him stand out. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick and his team to anyone seeking to engage with him—whether as a client or a candidate. 

His expertise, integrity, and results-driven approach are a testament to the exceptional value he brings to a great working partnership. 

He also has a great sense of humour too, which always helps!
