What we do

We approached UNW’s Strategic Talent team to find a high-quality Finance Director to join our board. Using their extensive knowledge of senior finance candidates in the North East, the team were able to quickly identify a shortlist of highly credible candidates to present to the business. Particular emphasis was placed on finding an individual who would implement strong financial control and processes in a growing business.

“At Age UK Northumberland, a senior finance role became vacant and after an initial search for an appropriate recruitment agency a trusted colleague recommended UNW strategic Talent service as a potential partner. UNW Strategic Talent was chosen from a number of potential agencies as the front-runner based on their expertise in sourcing suitably qualified and experienced finance professionals. Upon review, their proposal was accepted and was fully delivered within the desired timeframe. The successfully appointed candidate has been in post since January 2018 and has all the skills, knowledge and experience that we were looking for.”

“The four years running up to the tribunal were extremely stressful for Tyne Valley, and it is a real shame that honest and hard-working businesses such as ours can be subject to such a long, drawn-out process. The costs would have severely limited our growth aspirations. Thankfully, common sense prevailed in the end, and I can’t thank the VAT team at UNW enough for their meticulous and dedicated approach to the tribunal. They were extremely supportive throughout the process, and I would recommend them to anyone else that found themselves in a similar position to ours.”
