Our testimonials

Pete recently helped me secure a Finance Director’s position in a fast growing SME business. From the outset Pete was professional in his approach and he was keen to understand my desired requirements and motivations for a new role. What differentiated him was that he actually listened to these requirements and subsequently only communicated prospective roles that were largely in line with these requirements. As a result all of the prospective roles that he communicated were of interest and it felt like he was genuinely interested in my career.

Paul Strudley – Head of Group Finance

I’ve worked with Pete and the Apointe team for the last 4 years developing the finance team at Anesco. I have always been impressed with the quality of candidates he has brought to the business, this combined with the ability to identify the right cultural fit has made our recruitment processes very efficient and helped develop the strength of our team.

Mark Browning – CFO – Anesco Renewable Energy Company

I have had the pleasure of working with Pete and the Apointe team for several years. Since Apointe placed me as the Finance Director At Neos Networks I have had to establish a Finance team for a newly established Joint Venture. Pete and the Apointe team have supported me on finding both interim and permanent candidates on this journey over the past 3 years. Pete has taken the time to understand my requirements, not only for technical accounting but also for team fit and behaviours, ensuring that for both me and the candidates the process is efficient for all parties. I would thoroughly recommendthe Apointe team.

Sarah Herriman – Director of Finance, Neos Networks Limited

“As a candidate Pete was really helpful in my recent search for a new role. When it comes to senior finance positions he understands my experience and how that relates to the requirements of the roles he is recruiting for. More importantly, Pete knows how important it is to find the right individual and make sure there is a good fit between candidate, role and the hiring organisation. 

Iain Bruce – Finance Director, Leading Private Equity Backed Property Company

I’ve worked with Pete Mills and the team at Apointe for a number of years and they have helped us to source a wide variety of finance roles within the team. Pete takes the time to build relationships with both clients and candidates which means that he understands the team dynamic and culture as well as the business and the roles we need to fill.

Jemma Phillips – Finance Director at LRG (Leaders Romans Group)

After several months struggling to fill one of our roles ourselves, we turned to Neil and the Apointe team to help us find a candidate that checked all of our boxes. With a very specific skillset required, Neil sourced and screened a high volume of potential candidates and made sure we had the best pool of candidates for interview. We found the person and skills we were looking for and the hire has been a great success! It wouldn’t have been possible without Neil’s dedication for finding the best match of candidate and employer.

Ryan Coverdale – Manager, Support, EMEA at INTELEX

I am extremely grateful to Pete, he impressed me. I found him extremely knowledgeable and his ability to maintain high powered relationships with top clients within the financial and accounting sector is outstanding. I always feel confident in his ability to identify suitable roles. The key characteristic for me is Pete’s market knowledge and the relationship he has with all his stakeholders. He is extremely approachable and offered trustworthy advice and support. Thanks for helping me to secure a fulfilling role.
