“I have known Owen for many years and always try to involve him when an opportunity arises – a recent example being for an Operations Manager. He is extremely thorough and systematic, delivering what he says he will, when he says he will – which is very refreshing – and is real value for money. I strongly recommend that you use him if you need to strengthen your top team. His consulting skills can also prove very useful, whether for performance improvement, skill development or simply to help with how companies manage the recruitment process internally.” Steve Park, MD Huntley Pharmaceuticals.
Rail & General Manufacturing sectors
"I have used Owen’s expertise to strengthen several key positions in my senior team. I have always been impressed by his ability to find candidates that not only match the profile but offer an extra dimension for the business. His consulting experience, and the systematic process he uses, set him apart from the run of the mill recruitment specialist."
Paul Johnson - Chairman Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems (UK) Ltd.
"I found Owen to be a highly professional advisor who always endeavoured to understand his client's needs and provide the required solution. I feel very confident that any business engaging Owen's services will be pleased with the results and feel compelled to use him again. Top Qualities: Personable, On Time, High Integrity."
Peter Raza, previously HR Director within Balfour Beatty Rail.

Evans, Supply Chain HR Director, GlaxoSmithKline Nutritional Healthcare UK.
"Owen and I have worked together over many years and I have used his expertise again recently to strengthen my Quality organisation at VP level. I have always been impressed by his thoroughness in turning over every stone, and the systematic (research-based) process he uses to achieve the results I need. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs to bring in fresh blood at a senior level – well worth the investment." Andy Oades, MD Martindale Pharma.
“My initial thoughts when Owen first contacted me were ‘Another executive search company promising the earth.’ However, as I was not happy with our current agency I decided to engage Owen on an assignment. He found a top-calibre candidate whose skills and capabilities met the assignment brief. I thought, “Did he get a bit lucky there?” Since then he seems to have “got lucky” many times, and I now use him for all our UK and European executive search assignments.
I have been impressed by the systematic approach used by the Marlborough Partnership. They have ‘represented our Company’ in the search process in a highly professional manner. From the writing of the initial assignment brief to the commencement of the employee, the Marlborough partnership has met agreed deadlines, clearly communicated with me on a regular basis and always within a strict ‘value for money’ criterion. If you are thinking of trying someone different, I would strongly suggest you try the Marlborough Partnership.” Head of HR, global alloys business.
“I found the Marlborough Partnership's approach extremely useful in our search for a Manufacturing Director. Owen's meticulous research at the beginning of the assignment, coupled with the detailed
