Testimonials

"What stood out for us was how defined and seamless the ASG process was. After one conversation with Steve, we were introduced to candidates who matched not only the skillset we needed but also the culture and energy of our board. We weren’t inundated with CVs, just the right people, at the right time and to achieve this with no recruitment fee was genuinely refreshing."

Technology Sector Chair, Scale-Up SaaS Business (Technology Sector)

"We were sceptical at first, could anyone really understand the nuances of what we needed in a NED? But Steve and the ASG team nailed it. The introductions we received weren’t just technically qualified; they were people who clearly shared our passion for the sector and aligned with our values. It felt less like a hiring process and more like being matched with long-term partners."

Healthcare Sector CEO, Private Healthcare Provider (Healthcare Sector)

"We honestly couldn’t believe the quality of the service, particularly given we didn’t pay a recruitment fee. We’ve worked with headhunters before and spent significant sums for a fraction of the outcome. ASG gave us a smooth, discreet process and delivered exactly who we needed. It’s a model that just makes sense."

Manufacturing Sector Group Finance Director, Advanced Engineering Manufacturer (Manufacturing Sector)

"The NEDs ASG introduced have transformed the way our board operates. They brought in people with proven experience of achieving exactly what we want to do as a business. The process itself was effortless & no wasted time, no generic CVs, just targeted introductions. It’s been one of the most effective board recruitment experiences we’ve had."

Professional Services Sector Managing Partner, National Consulting Firm (Professional Services Sector)

"We really valued how confidential and respectful the process was. Our details weren’t shared widely, and we weren’t flooded with irrelevant candidates. Instead, after one clear discussion with Steve, we were simply presented with the right people. It felt professional from start to finish and gave us huge confidence in the appointments we made."

Financial Services Sector Non-Executive Chair, Regional Financial Services Firm (Financial Services Sector)

"Unlike other services we’ve tried, ASG didn’t overwhelm us with endless options. We didn’t feel ‘sold to’ or pressured just supported. Every candidate we met had been thoughtfully matched to our needs, which saved us a huge amount of time. The simplicity and effectiveness of the process really impressed us."

Energy Sector COO, Renewable Energy Provider (Energy Sector)

"What impressed us most was how closely ASG aligned candidates’ past achievements to our specific goals as a company. These weren’t just generic ‘experienced NEDs’ they were people with a proven track record in solving the exact challenges we’re facing. It made the decision-making easy, and the impact immediate."

Logistics & Transport Sector Chair, National Logistics Group (Transport & Supply Chain Sector)

"Steve took the time to really listen. He asked the right questions, understood what we were trying to achieve, and then introduced us to individuals who not only ticked every box but exceeded our expectations. It didn’t feel transactional it felt like he was genuinely invested in finding the right fit for us."

Retail & Consumer Sector CEO, Multi-Channel Retail Business (Retail & Consumer Sector)

"We’ve been through lengthy and expensive search processes before, so working with ASG was a revelation. After a single call, we were connected with outstanding candidates who were already engaged and motivated. The efficiency was extraordinary, and the quality of the introductions was second to none."

Property & Real Estate Sector Managing Director, Regional Property Development Group (Real Estate Sector)

"The NEDs we appointed through ASG have added enormous value, not just on paper but in how they’ve shaped our strategy. The process was straightforward, quick, and completely free of the usual recruitment noise. For us, the biggest surprise was realising you can get this level of service and outcome without paying a recruitment fee. We’ll be back."
