“Butler Ross excellently managed the journey to my placement in my current role at The Challenge. Their consultants maintained strong and effective communication throughout the process, offering much valued advice and support where needed – we talked through my CV in great depth and amended it appropriately to ensure that I have the right detail on it. I had many conversations with Kate in particular about exactly what I was looking for in my next role, and her understanding of that meant that she could successfully place me in a role that was exactly what I was looking for. The Butler Ross consultants supported me through all stages of the process, giving me a very detailed understanding of the organisation and the people that would be interviewing me, as well as future projects that they would want me to work on, so that I could prepare my answers accordingly.   I would like to thank Kate & the Butler Ross team for their efforts and support during the recruitment process and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who might be looking for a new career.”

Tracey Constant – Sourcing Manager at Capita

"I have known Butler Ross for some time as a key provider for Procurement and Supply Chain expertise. I first started engaging with them in 2016, I have always been impressed by their enthusiastic approach and relationship building skills. The consultants take the time to listen, understand and demonstrate a genuine interest in me and leave me confident that they are best placed to serve my interests as well of those of the client. They work assiduously to ensure a good fit and maintain the relationships by demonstrating a real and practical interest in the needs of all parties. When one of the consultants contacted me initially to talk about an opportunity for an Interim Head of Procurement with one of her clients, I was not actively looking at that particular sector at the time, but they really took the time to understand my skills and experience and explain the client’s requirements. They did such a great job outlining this opportunity and the client to me that I had no hesitation in putting my name forward. I have not been disappointed the team at Butler Ross maintained excellent communication throughout the engagement, offering much valued advice and support where needed. This relationship has continued throughout the assignment, I have found the Butler Ross consultants to be very efficient, keen to provide an excellent service and play a key role in supporting my current role and of course the needs of the client. I would not hesitate to recommend Butler Ross as true Procurement and Supply Chain recruitment experts, indeed whenever the need arises either for me personally or in a client situation I have confidence that Butler Ross will be there to understand and support my needs.”

Mazda Kasraeian – Material Controller at Mclaren Automotive

“During my recent job search, I dealt with several consultancies, none of which, came remotely close to matching Butler Ross’s expertise. From our very first conversation, their consultants provided sound knowledge, help and advice throughout the process. I felt they were with me every step of the way and without their input, I would have found the experience much more difficult. A huge number of consultancies could learn a great deal from their approach and methods used to manage candidates. A real pleasure to have worked together on the next chapter of my career.”  

Matthew Bullard, Contract Manager – City of Westminster

“Jonathan has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

Butler Ross provide full dedication and support from start to finish and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.”

“Butler Ross provided excellent support and guidance in my job search – we spoke a couple of times about my career aspirations and the companies that they had relationships with that might be suitable for me and what I was looking for. Their knowledge of the procurement market allowed them to provide me with a lot of information about the companies that I could work for, and we selected ICR as an employer that would be able to offer me exactly what I was looking for and they are an organisation that I was already very interested in. Their consultants supported me through the interview process with information about the job and what the hiring managers would want to see from me, and what the role would entail from the day that I joined. Their attention to detail and excellent relationship management skills made the process easy, hassle free and successful. Thank you for your support in finding me my new job.”

Adam Woolley - Senior Buyer - JCB

"I am just writing to you to let you know about a great experience I’ve had with one of your recruitment consultants at Butler Ross I was recruited by Chantal Partridge for a production planner role working for Makita last month. I’d just like to say that Chantal is hands down the best consultant I have ever come across in my working life - I’ve dealt with a lot of agencies in my past and also had some experience working within a recruitment role and she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She was great at communicating all of the relevant information to me from day one and made me feel comfortable and confident about your company throughout. I’m sure that she’s already an extremely valuable asset within your company and I really hope that this praise helps aid the future/progression for her within your company. I’ve never emailed anyone with praise like this before but I really feel that she’s earnt this for being such a cracking worker."

Jarrod Poulter - Production Planner - Makita

"I Would just like to say a Big thank you to Charlotte and the team at Butler Ross for all of the assistance provided in obtaining my current position. I was only half-heartedly looking around when Charlotte came up with an excellent opportunity that ticked virtually every box of what I was looking for in a new role. I Wouldn't hesitate to get back in touch if I was looking for a new role in the future"

Andy McGowan - Category Manager

"When deciding to find my next role, I had a very particular set of requirements. A number of recruiters felt they knew what I wanted but Charlotte made the difference by actually listening to my wants and focused her offerings to meet them. After 5 months in the new role I now fully appreciate that Charlotte’s professional skills and genuine friendly manner made all the difference between finding ‘a’ role to finding ‘the right’ role. Thank you for taking the time to listen Charlotte. There are lots of recruiters but far less that actually understand and are considerate of their clients requirements. Butler Ross have that with Charlotte Culhane."

Ian McPhail - Senior Buyer - Gill Instruments

"It has been an absolute pleasure having been approached by Lisa Pascoe. She was so supportive, motivating and highly professional during my interview processes . I have gained very valuable information and had such a positive experience throughout her approach"

Javier Garduno - Materials Controller - Rolls Royce Motor Cars

"Lisa played a really key part in me securing my current role. She knew what my skills were and helped me in every aspect of the recruitment process.

Thank you Lisa and carry on being amazing at what you do"

Lisa Weller - Buyer

"Finding your next role straight after redundancy can be such a difficult thing. You’ve lost your confidence and the idea of trying to find something else quickly that is suitable for you (and your family’s schedule) can be so, so daunting. Lisa was just wonderful from me starting my search to getting my new contact role. She was both reassuring and got me and my head firmly back on track. Thank you Lisa - more than just finding me any role - you listened and you matched me and here I am at Day 3 and feeling like I fit in and I’m happy"

Sanita Garley - Senior Buyer

"Lucy approached me about a role in a public sector organisation after she found my cv online,I wasn’t looking for a new role but Lucy sent me over the job spec and said my skills matched what the organisation was looking for. I got the role and can honestly say it was a great decision and I couldn’t have done it without Lucy and the team at Butler Ross supporting me through the whole process from the initial contact through the interviews and also discussing terms she understood not just my needs but also the needs of the organisation. I would highly recommend contacting Lucy and the team at Butler Ross if you are thinking about a new role and want some advice."

Carl Holdsworth - Category Manager - Poole Hospital

"Lucy approached me with an exciting opportunity earlier this year and was excellent in supporting me with an application and helping me through the whole interview process. I was successful and accepted the role, but this was down to Lucy's persistence and tenacity, together with brilliant communication skills. I would recommend Lucy and Butler Ross to any candidate looking for a role in the Public Sector as she demonstrates great negotiation skills and knowledge of the market, together with making you feel important and never fails to keep you updated and is always available to help and assist."

Adrian Uden - Procurement Specialist - L&Q

"Lucy found my CV online and approached me about a job that I never would have thought of applying for had she not seen some potential in me. With my background not entirely what the employer was typically used to, it took some positivity and tenacity on both of our parts to get me through to interview. But once I got there the employers were thrilled to offer me a role. Lucy negotiated a great salary for me, and kept me updated through the whole process. I am really grateful for her hard work, and she was a pleasure to deal with! Keep up the good work Lucy :-)"

Lorna Gee - Procurement Co-ordinator

"Kate was a breath of fresh air. Rather than bombard me with multiple opportunities in the market she listened to what I wanted, took on board my skill set and career aspirations and focused on the one role that would tick all of those boxes. A tailored approach that has paid dividends."

Ben Thynne - Procurement Business Partner - Heathrow

"During my search for a new role, I dealt with several consultants and consultancies, none of which, came remotely close to matching Kate's or Butler Ross's expertise. From our very first conversation, Kate provided sound knowledge, help and advice throughout the process. I felt Kate was with me every step of the way and without her input, I would have definitely found the experience more difficult. Kate is a credit to her profession and a number of consultants could learn a great deal from her approach and methods used to manage candidates. A real pleasure to have worked together on the next chapter of my career!"

Matthew Bullard - Contracts Manager - Westminster City Council

"Jonathan managed a slow burning procurement opportunity with a well known global airport client wishing to expand and significantly improve runway and service capacity. The client wasn't in any particular rush but wanted somebody who had the skills they were looking for. Although a rate had been set for the role, Jonathan was able to increase this and obtain a significantly long initial contract of 15 months. This is the first assignment that I have secured via Butler Ross but hopefully not the last"

Paul Barrett - Commercial Manager

"I was placed by Jonathan Ross as Interim Senior Buyer. My initial impressions were that he demonstrated a high level of professionalism and he was easy to deal with. He could answer a range of questions covering the function and the business as a whole. He really took time to listen to me and understand me as a person, and prepared me in detail for my interviews with the client. I was impressed by his frequency of contact and the fact that he was always available and his handling of the offer management process. I look forward to building a long term relationship with Jonathan and Butler Ross."
