Kelly Simkiss, CEO – Pixel Group

"Mallory Partners approached me on a recommendation from my previous CEO. Initially, I wasn’t sure if it would progress, as I did not have experience of leading a private equity transaction that the employer wanted - but Mallory Partners worked hard with them to explore what they were seeking to achieve, how my experience might prove valuable and kept the conversation going. Ultimately, It was a very straightforward process. I had an initial call with John and Jeremy, which John followed up and he managed the process through to completion. I like the way they work. Conversations were very transparent and they were in regular contact to keep me updated on the process. I was involved in other active processes at the time and the difference between Mallory Partners’ proactive approach and others was noticeable. Often, recruitment consultants can be arrogant and not transparent, but Mallory Partners stuck out as being consistently different. John was extremely good throughout; he was calm, supportive and helpful at getting a deal over the line."
