What They Say About Us

True Specialist.

I have appointed Sam Doshi on a number of high profile search assignments throughout the UK. He has provided a consistently high level of service and a wide selection of candidates. He is a true specialist within the Restructuring & Insolvency market and has an extensive network of contacts across the country.

David Dunkley, CEO, Grant Thornton UK LLP
Diligent, Professional.

I’ve known Sam for over 17 years, he has always been diligent and professional in his approach to the Restructuring & Insolvency sector. FRP has gone from strength to strength in the UK market, and Sam has played a key role in supporting us in identifying the right people, whether that be setting up a new office or a Partner search.

Geoff Rowley, Group CEO, FRP Advisory
Career Development.

“I can’t speak more highly of Sam and the team at Stonebridge. Sam's distinct differential is the level of care and diligence he takes when considering and putting forward potential roles to me. Rather than trying to fill “holes with bodies” he takes a genuine interest in the your career development, wider goals and personal circumstances. This approach sets Sam and Stonebridge clearly apart from other recruiters.”

Director, Big4 Accountancy firm
Personable, Measured.

I spoke to a number of recruitment consultants when I was considering my next move. Sam came across as personable, measured, very well connected in the market and acted as a good sounding board throughout the search process. My transition to a new role was smooth and Sam played a large part in this. I have since recommended Sam to others and they have had similarly positive experiences.

Director, Top 10 Accountancy firm
Trustworthy, Reassuring.

Rob was very personable and friendly. He provided me with regular updates, and was easy to contact, responding to any missed calls promptly. He was trustworthy and reassuring during what can be an awkward and nervous time. I would recommend Rob to anyone in the market.

Rosie Higgins, Partner, EY
Professional, Refreshing.

Rob placed me in my current role as an associate at PWC within a month of being in London. His professionalism, efficiency and direct approach was refreshing and greatly appreciated. He provided me with regular updates regarding the employment process and responded to missed calls promptly.

Stef Mehl - Senior Manager - PWC - Singapore
Experienced, Knowledgeable.

Sam was excellent to work with in my job search. He works with you on a personal level to understand what you are looking for. His experience and knowledge of the industry ensures that any potential opportunity is the right fit. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Vast Knowledge.

Having known (Sam & Rob) for 10/15 years respectively, it is great to see how well you are doing and your vast knowledge of the Insolvency & Restructuring marketplace.

James Snowdon, Restructuring & Recovery Partner
Helpful & Energetic.

I came into touch with Rob as a candidate looking for a new role in London. He was always really helpful, had great energy and was always at the other end of the phone! He was particularly helpful when it came to talking through different roles and opening up my eyes to new roles that I hadn't previously considered!

Jessica Judge, Commercial Finance Manager
Encouraging.

Sam was very helpful and friendly, making it easy for me to give him a good idea of what I was looking for. He was very encouraging and guided me through the process with it being my first time looking for a full time position after graduating from university. He also helped me feel confident in going for a role which I was starting with no experience in the industry.

Sabrina Frappaolo – Assistant Manager at Insolve Plus

We have worked with Sam and Rob and to fill a number of positions over the last ten years. They have a very broad range of contacts across the sector and have a good understanding of the skills required, so they are able to provide relevant candidates with specifically tailored skills and experiences.

Steven Pell, Investment Director, Hilco Capital
Reliable.

We were highly selective over choosing who to partner with in London given the complexity of the Special Situations Market. We spoke to various Restructuring Partners and asked for their recommendations, the majority of them pointed me in the direction of Sam Doshi at Stonebridge. Having now successfully completed our complex hire at Sandton Capital’s London office, I can see why!

Matt Meehan, Head of Europe, Sandton Capital Partners
Port of Call.

Sam Doshi at Stonebridge is always the first port of call when I need to recruit and expand my ever growing team at Insolve Plus. What stands him apart from other agencies is his knowledge and understanding of the Insolvency market, therefore producing the right candidates for my requirements.

Jess provided useful insights about the role and company, and helped ensure I was well-prepared throughout.

One of the best!

I've really enjoyed working with Jessica, she is easily one of the best recruiters in the insolvency space! Jessica genuinely understands the industry, knows what firms are looking for, and most importantly, took the time to get to know me as a candidate. From the start, Jessica was approachable, honest, and super proactive. It never felt like just another recruiter conversation, as Jessica actually listened to what I wanted in my next role and offered solid advice along the way. The process was smooth, transparent, and surprisingly enjoyable thanks to her support. If you're working in insolvency and considering your next move, or you're hiring and want someone who truly gets the market, I can't recommend Jessica enough.
