“Societe Generale has within the last 12 months mandated Penna to recruit an Interim HR Director, and a number of Senior Commodities specialists.

I have always found Jonathan [Hawes] to be extremely professional and the quality of his work to be very high.

In particular he always responds quickly to queries, demonstrates a good awareness of the market and has proved very useful in facilitating productive discussions with candidates.

Two of the four searches have been completed successfully and the other two are close to completion.

I would certainly recommend Penna and will be using their services in the future.”

"I was very impressed with the speed and accuracy of the interim support we received from Penna, and in particular, Jonathan Hawes. This came exactly at the moment when we needed the right skills in at the right time - and Penna were in the right place for us! Penna's  recommendations
and their subsequent placements for our business have been outstanding."

“When Post Office Financial Services (POFS) were looking for short term experienced resource to help grow their new start business I approached Jonathan Hawes at Penna for assistance. Not only did Jonathan find the required people, the value that they added meant that their term within POFS was extended several times. During the course of this exercise I always found Jonathan extremely flexible, not only around the commercial terms that had to be agreed and extended, but also with added value additional support and advice that doesn't come with a price tag.

I will certainly use Penna again when we require Interim support and would recommend them without hesitation.”
