Case studies

Bowel Research UK“Our new chair of the finance committee is proving a great find and I would like to thank Marlijn Wijkhuizen and the team at Eastside Primetimers for finding the candidates and guiding us through the process. It is unlikely that we would have found such a highly-qualified and committed individual who is passionate about what we do – it was definitely worth every penny and has given me a very different perspective on recruiting trustees” Charles Mesquita, Trustee
NOAH Enterprise“Eastside Primetimers recruitment consultant Marlijn Wijkhuizen was critical to helping us finding two new fundraising and HR trustees for our board, with a real dedication to work we do combatting poverty and homelessness, and did so at a time of growth and change for our organisation. I would thoroughly recommend this service” David Morris, Chief Executive Officer
River and Rowing Museum“EP’s help in recruiting new trustees for The River and Rowing Museum was invaluable; testing (and improving) the trustee specification, identifying strong candidates and managing the process efficiently.  I recommend them!” Howard Jacobs, Vice Chairperson
Scleroderma and Raynaud's UK (SRUK)“Excellent service, very much tailored to our needs and not the usual one-size-fits-all approach. I would highly recommend Eastside Primetimers’ recruitment service to others and in fact have already done so” Sue Farrington, Chief Executive
