Test Consult

Technical Director and Sales Director

Rob Butler

When Rob Butler, the Managing Director of James Fisher Testing Services, a leading provider of specialist testing and monitoring services for construction and other infrastructure industries, needed to strengthen his senior team, he asked Hanover Fox to handle both appointments.

“I have successfully used Hanover Fox in a number of previous senior roles and I like how they work.

“These are not easy roles to fill. We work in a niche technical area and we’re growing fast. We need people who are comfortable working across a broad scope; people who not only have the skillset we need, but also the entrepreneurial thinking.

“Hanover Fox are very good at cultural fit. They spent time with me asking probing questions so they understood both roles and what my expectations were.

“As usual it was a very efficient process. They narrowed the field with pre-vetting. After reviewing their candidate summaries and discussing each one with Hanover Fox, I interviewed just three people for each role.

“When you meet the candidates you realise how accurate Hanover Fox’s summaries are. We have made two excellent appointments without requiring too much time from my point of view, so I am very pleased with the outcome.”
