She sets the benchmark for Search in the recruitment industry. I would never hesitate to recommend Jo Sweetland to anyone. A delight to work with BUT more importantly brings the best results."

“Working with Green Park made this important and potentially challenging appointment process smooth and easy to navigate. The recruitment professionals that they assigned to the project communicated consistently and articulately with the variety of different stakeholders involved in the process; they were sensitive but did not steer away from being honest about the difficult realities involved in this recruitment campaign which resulted in expectations being expertly managed and trust being embedded. I would highly recommend Green Park for senior executive search campaigns, especially in the culture and creative industry.”

"Raj and his team are genuinely looking to drive change - and they really seem to care. Green Park has placed me on two interim assignments so far, both of which have been right up my alley. It's been a genuine pleasure doing business with them!"

Working with Green Park on an important strategic hire for our people agenda was seamless. Not only was the process handled with thought, agility and pace, but importantly also found us an incredibly high calibre of candidates which we struggled to pick from. We were impressed with their level of knowledge of this sector and our business, a very nice problem to have. Liz was a great partner to us with constant communication, flagging any risks along the way.
