Amanda Morgan
"Consumer Additions has been a great partner for this high-level recruit. They quickly understood the brief, expectations, several, and culture fit. Resulting in a number of excellent candidates. Very happy with the attention and professional follow-up."
Simon Wheeler
“Jon Cooper at Consumer Additions has been a delight to work with. He seems consistently able to understand and interpret our needs and as a result we see only relevant and high quality candidates for the roles we have explored. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.”
Claire Tanner
"I have worked with Consumer Additions over a number of years now and most recently as our PS at HelloFresh. The Consumer Additions team completely understand the culture and fit for HelloFresh and have provided successful candidates. I have a strong collaborative and transparent working relationship with Jon and David who have also been great at guiding us and also reacting quickly when we've needed it"
"We've been using Consumer Additions for several years and they have recruited some senior members of our team. I've always found them to be effective recruiters, friendly and highly knowledgeable as well as extremely trustworthy and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jon and his team for any recruitment needs."
Gary Wright
“Although I had never worked with Consumer Additions previously, we engaged them on our CFO vacancy due to a strong recommendation from a main shareholder rather than use our usual contacts. Matthew and Jon quickly gained my trust through regular communication and straight talking. They were always available which made a real difference when time is limited for getting points across. They took their time to listen to the brief and work up a shortlist of relevant and qualified candidates, who also arrived well-briefed as to the person and role specifications. We now have an outstanding CFO who fits culturally and is making a positive difference across the Group. I thoroughly recommend their services.”
Dave Murray
“I have worked with Consumer Additions for a number of years across both Farfetch and Matches and they have recruited a number of top-tier candidates into both businesses. I find their approach both honest and transparent, acting as a valued and trusted partner to the business. Consumer Additions have consistently delivered on searches at all levels and I would whole heartedly recommend them as a search and recruitment partner to any consumer related business.“
Paul Donoghue
“Wayne has been an excellent recruitment partner for Orlebar Brown and has helped us build our senior leadership team across Marketing, Digital, Sales and Product. He understood the needs of our business and our vision to scale and ultimately position Orlebar Brown for investment. He identified 12 key people in the industry with the expertise and proven track record in their fields to help deliver growth and the objectives set out. Wayne manages an efficient process and his knowledge of the industry, and his network is extensive. I would highly recommend Wayne at Consumer Additions.”
Max Henderson
“We were really happy with Wayne running our search. The process was clear, smooth, and well put together. They got a clear understanding of the business and helped us refine our brief to a point that we were totally happy with it. They were clear on what we needed and what our values and priorities were. Ultimately, they got us a strong range of candidates in a shortlist and then listened and responded well to our feedback. Critically, the end result was a very successful hire to a vital role.”
Philipa Nixon
"ERDEM engaged Consumer Additions on a retained search basis for the next stage of growth for the business. Having taken an in-depth brief, Consumer Additions ran the process seamlessly, delivering an impressive shortlist of fully vetted and qualified candidates. The preferred candidate was secured and has since started with ERDEM and has been a great addition to the team.”
Olivia & Hugo Von Halle
"Consumer Additions have recruited several new team members for us, including C-Suite, and we're happy with all the appointments. We've always found Wayne and his team to be easy to work with, transparent and honest."
