It has been an honour and a pleasure to have grown with Redstone since inception. After starting as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant in 2014 covering the Commodities markets, I took full responsibility for the Commodities desk and subsequently launched two new desks, namely Private Banking and LRC. We staged a management buyout late 2022 and are currently enjoying our further expansion primarily within the FICC spectrum. I have had the opportunity to travel globally and establish relationships with a wide variety of clients as well as overseeing the training and development of our internal team (much more like family than a traditional team!) Watching our team grow both in size and experience has been the most rewarding opportunity and as we look to the future, remains the strongest of motivators.

Upon joining Redstone as a Trainee in 2017, it was clear there was an opportunity to help build something unique - fast-forward six years and I have not once stopped feeling fortunate to be playing a role within the business. Leading our Commodities division since late 2019 has been a responsibility made far more enjoyable and simplistic due to the exceptional people around me – our extremely talented, creative and motivated Consultants across Commodities, LRC and Private Banking continue to deliver record-breaking results and show no sign of slowing down. It is a privilege to provide an ever-growing and evolving platform for our employees to utilise, and witnessing their success and impact on our business first-hand could not be more fulfilling.

I joined Redstone Search Group in January 2016 after studying at Nottingham University. My role within the organisation was full on from day one, we had the aim of establishing a Private Banking and Wealth management offering to compete with and complement our Commodity business and I am pleased to say we have successfully achieved this. Across the last seven years, we have seen great traction in the expansion of our client base and we are now partnering with some of the most exciting and longstanding names in Private Banking and Wealth Management, providing comprehensive search solutions across the full spectrum of our client’s business. As our market presence continues to grow, so do our efforts to build a thriving and hungry team of consultants to further expand our ability to place high-level professionals across the Global Private Client hubs. As of 2022, I became a Director and co-owner of the Redstone Search Group business and I look forward to helping the team further establish itself one of the best boutique brands in Executive Search.

Coming from a construction background as a qualified electrician, I joined Redstone in 2018 as a Trainee Consultant with no prior recruitment experience. Through bespoke, personalised training run by the senior management, I became a successful Head-hunter within the Energy and Raw Materials space. As the company and my career continued to develop, I was tasked with setting up our newest division, Legal, Risk and Compliance, a natural bolt on to our existing business. Our Legal desk is now being spearheaded by Senior Consultant Thomas Eastwood and our Risk, FICC activities lead by Senior Consultant Luce Brace. In 2022 I was part of a management buyout becoming a Director and Shareholder, leading the company to the next stage of growth.

I joined Redstone and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions in my life. The care and support with which I have been treated both as a member of staff and just as a person has been incredible. That care and support has extended to every aspect of my life at Redstone from my first moment of training right through to present day – being a Senior Consultant with the next step in my career, to grow a team of my own. I couldn’t hope to have a better management team or a better team around me.

Joining Redstone in 2020, having previously been at two other agencies, the positive differences were clear to see from day one. The training programme gives you the foundations to build your own success, laying out the structure for you to put your very own stamp on. What I enjoy most is the autonomy you have, building out your business for the future in the way you see fit. You’re given all the tools you could need in order to really change your life. Lastly, on the Redstone Family, we are a close-knit team who spends just as much time together outside of office hours as we do at work and I wouldn’t change it for the world!  

I started with Redstone in January 2020, three months before the Covid outbreak! With a background in hospitality and wedding management, executive recruitment was brand new to me, but I knew I had transferable skills and the strong desire to increase my paycheck and have ownership over what I was earning. Some of my initial training was remote due to lockdown, however I was completely supported throughout this time and did not feel my position was at risk whilst other companies were making significant lay-offs / furloughing their staff. Now, three years on, I am a Senior Consultant working with some of the largest Private and Investment Banks across the world, building out the US and LatAm markets, thanks to Redstone believing in me and providing such fantastic tools for me to work with.

I joined Redstone in 2020 after graduating from The University of Sheffield with zero recruitment experience. Due to the bespoke nature of the training programmes put into place I was brought up to speed very quickly and achieved my first promotion within my first year and a half, meaning I was out earning what many of my peers were at the time. With everyone pulling in the same direction, the team is both one which will celebrate the victories you achieve but also push you to continuously develop, therefore giving you an excellent foundation for success in the area of your choosing.

I like working at Redstone because it has provided me with the opportunity to build and manage my own book of business, with a high degree of autonomy. Whilst recruitment can be an extremely challenging sector to work in, the team at Redstone is incredibly supportive and makes being at work fun, which makes it much easier to overcome the challenges as they arrive, ultimately providing a platform for success.
