You would not ask an Inn Keeper to judge his own fayre so don’t take our word for what we can deliver…. below is what our customers say about us.

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

We initially used Pursuit NHA as a one-step solution for our graduate recruitment and training programme. We have been so impressed by their professionalism and effectiveness that we have since extended our use of them into training and search-and-selection of even senior Sales and Marketing managers.

Pursuit NHA brings real-world experience to all their services, alongside ensuring they completely understand our business needs, tailoring their approach as necessary. Their rigour and thoroughness are exemplary and have made a real difference to our company - and we still use them for graduate recruitment.

RECRUITMENT

Having used Pursuit for both recruitment purposes; as a candidate and a client, I have been completely happy with all service levels provided. It is unusual to find a recruitment service provider who call when they say they are going to call & provide leads that are relevant and in fitting with the brief given. I would have absolutely no hesitation in either recommending Pursuit NHA for all recruitment needs, or using their services again. Infact, I would go as far as to say, they will certainly be the first phone call I make when I need the services quality recruitment firm in the future

After receiving some very helpful feedback on my application for the Hasbro Graduate Scheme, I thought I would do the same for you, and I just wanted to write and say how incredibly impressed I have been by Pursuit NHA throughout the entire recruitment process.

Your efficiency, professionalism, frequent communication leading up to the assessment centre, and delivery of the day were all excellent. On the day itself, I so appreciated your efforts to make all of us feel as relaxed as possible and get the best out of us. So in short, a huge thank you – it has been a pleasure.

Helen Jenner -Graduate

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

When we discussed our business with Pursuit NHA, it quickly became clear that we were talking to business people with real ‘hands on’ commercial experience. They understood our business needs, identified improvement areas and, most importantly, how they could help.

We initially used Pursuit NHA for some Key Sales Management recruitment and were impressed with their handling of the brief and their competitiveness in cost. We subsequently retained Pursuit NHA to conduct sales training for our existing sales team.

Company management and the sales team themselves, have been very pleased with the business results and output achieved since the two day course.

Pursuit NHA’s ability to cover more than one aspect of a client’s requisites and to demonstrate their perceptiveness in understanding our particular needs and to personalise a programme is of great value to us as a business support mechanism.

We will work with Pursuit NHA again!

David Turner - formerley Managing Director, Corgi Classics Ltd

RECRUITMENT

Having interviewed a number of other suppliers we felt that Pursuit NHA could provide the most tailored approach and the more personalised service.

Their consultants came across as interested in our business. They had taken the initiative to understand more about it than any other supplier.

Doing business with Pursuit is a pleasure. I have very good working relationships with all members of the team.

The main point of differentiation is the personal touch which ensures I have faith in Pursuit delivering what I wanted..... in many ways they ‘over deliver’.

Creativity is one of Pursuit’s strengths and ensures that we attract the right quality of candidate.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Pursuit and see no reason why we shouldn’t carry on doing so. Indeed, we have formalised new terms and conditions with a review in six months.

Zoe Houldsworth - HR Manager, British American Tobacco

TRAINING

At Silentnight we set Pursuit NHA a challenge to significantly increase the effectiveness of our sales teams.

Aside from the positive financial impact in terms of improved results gained as a result of working with Pursuit NHA, one of the key benefits for us was to ensure that our teams had access to the most up to date information on best practice especially with respect to Key Accounts

I believe that the real key to the success of working with Pursuit NHA is their people. You feel that not only do they truly understand your business, but they also care passionately about the results that they achieve. So much so, they were happy to agree that the final part of the project investment would only be paid once we had achieved jointly agreed objectives.

I have no hesitation in recommending Pursuit NHA to you as a Training and Development partner.

Andy Woolley - formerly Group HR Director, Silentnight Group

CONSULTANCY, RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

We first met Pursuit NHA in September 2004 to discuss a variety issues facing our Independent and Multiple field sales teams. Pursuit NHA quickly gained a thorough understanding of our business through field accompaniments and by the analysis of role profiles.

Pursuit NHA produced a series of recommendations for our future structure and a clear route to identify the best talent via development workshops. They designed and delivered a programme to train and develop the sales force and management team. This has helped to develop a more focused performance culture, reinforced by new look systems and processes.

The quality and experience of the Pursuit NHA team guarantees creative yet practical solutions. Their team works well with all levels of our business and inspires the trust and honesty that gets the best from this type of major review.

For my team this was a much needed shot in the arm. The resultant improvements in efficiency and focus have already made a significant difference to our business performance this year.

I would recommend Pursuit NHA.

Philip Duncan – National Sales Manager, Independents, ICI Paints

TRAINING

The decision to use Pursuit NHA to support the introduction of a group-wide management development initiative has proved to be a key factor in the turnaround of Heywood Williams Group’s financial performance.

Importantly, the team at Pursuit quickly gained a detailed understanding of the Group and its operating companies and established its credibility as a consultancy able to deliver practical solutions to a range of complex organisation issues.

Significant achievements have included the introduction of a leadership/management skills development programme for the Group’s top 100 managers in the UK and continental Europe together with a comprehensive sales training programme focused directly on the Group’s market sectors.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Pursuit NHA team: truly a ‘class’ consultancy committed to delivery of results.
