Search and recruitment for finance professionalsI have worked successfully as a CFO and Finance Director and therefore understand the complexities of finance roles and can apply this directly in each and every search. Unconstrained by set processes and targets, your search will be performed only by the individual you meet, not part completed by junior staff. Therefore the service you receive is of a consistent and high quality. You will benefit from a tailored approach to your business, working preferences and the particular role. This will be outlined at the start and will be structured so as to ensure that you receive the most effective search service possible.Lockford has a genuine interest in your business and also in the careers of its candidates. The search approach ensures that you will always be presented with engaged and enthusiastic candidates who understand the role, the focus of the business, the challenge and how it fits into their own current experience and development. What’s more, the first-hand experience of working as a senior finance professional allows an understanding of the substance of the financial role and the required skill-set; this ensures that you receive a breadth of candidates and a real choice, rather than simply several identikit profiles.

I am an experienced interview trainer and headhunter with an MSc in Organizational Psychology that focused on selection and assessment. Over the last 7 years I have focused on senior level recruitment and worked closely with clients to assess individuals at the interview stage. ​During this time I have interviewed hundreds of candidates and therefore know what works and how to best communicate an individual’s relevant abilities. I use this knowledge and experience to work with professionals who are looking to improve or brush up on their technique, meet a specific case study challenge, or simply want to practice ahead of an important interview. It can really make that small difference between you and the others on the shortlist.

In my role as a Board member and also Commercial Director, I support the CMA by working closely with the CEO and other board members to drive the commercial strategy and membership offering for the organisation, which exists to promote and recognise best in class content and to drive thought leadership within the sector.
