In addition to his role as Managing Director, Nick is the leader of our aviation and transport practice. He represents clients across the entire aviation sector including airlines, airports, ground handlers and other companies in the wider aviation supply chain. In addition to this he also works with clients in the consumer and financial services markets.
He has over 20 years’ experience in executive hiring and has recruited across the board up to and including non-executive level. He has successfully appointed senior management and executive talent in Europe, America, South east Asia and the Middle East.
Nick is very passionate about his work and takes a hands on approach to all searches he is responsible for. Working with a talented internal research and delivery team, he has a track record of advising businesses in various stages of performance; whether that be growth, transformation or turnaround, to secure the best in class talent in the industry. He is often asked to advise clients on organisation design and role profile development prior to going to market. Nick has a track record of long term client retention and developing them into significant relationships that mean Howgate Sable can add real value to the organisation they represent.
In his earlier career Nick worked for one of the worlds largest retailers in HR and resourcing roles before joining a listed global recruitment firm.
The EMI Practice at Howgate Sable really took the time to understand our situation and find exceptional candidates who could fulfil challenging international leadership assignments for a truly global company with a history that spans well over 200 years.
It was a first class experience and positive outcome on many levels.
I have worked with the Howgate Sable team on several occasions whilst hiring mission-critical executives. Partnership is the byword for this organisation – they act as an extension of my team and work hard to support me not only in the technical solution, but in the sense of a deep understanding of my specific requirements. Delivery is the key measure of our talent partners and Howgate Sable have always achieved what was asked of them.
Having worked with Howgate Sable as a client and as a candidate I can confidently say their ability to deliver on complex searches is second to none. They not only have a detailed knowledge of the marketplace but also understand the importance of cultural fit.
I was particularly impressed with Howgate Sable’s knowledge and network in the aviation sector, the quality of the candidates provided at shortlist and the availability of Nick and the team to provide us with advice and guidance on candidates when required. Nick was particularly effective in understanding our needs as a Company and being flexible in adapting requirements and plans.
I have recently worked with Nick from Howgate Sable to recruit a new Head of Aircraft Operations for Thomson Airways. I was particularly impressed by the wide-reaching search undertaken and the quality of the candidates put forward. The skills match to the brief was excellent and I am delighted with the individual we selected.
From their initial call to me the Aviation practice team at Howgate Sable demonstrated a significant difference. Straightforward and to the point, the extent of their network and deep insight into the industry was immediately evident. The added value I have received as a candidate is tangible. An almost instant rapport quickly developed into a focused business relationship which is open, honest, respectful and above all trustworthy.
