• I needed a recruiter who would find me the best talent in the market with the minimum of fuss. MDM listened to the brief and enhanced it through their knowledge of the market, then delivered me a small handful of candidates of a consistently high calibre, all of whom were a good fit. What a luxury! We made a great appointment and MDM is a business I trust and would not hesitate to use again.


    Danielle Davies, CFO, Revolution Bars Group PLC
  • During a relationship now spanning around 20 years, I have called upon Mike’s and Dan’s wise counsel at a number of critical junctures in my career. Their concern to make sure that you make the right career decisions is quite unusual in my experience, and it’s no surprise that they take the same degree of care when recruiting someone for you. You can trust these guys and they’ll always tell it you the way it is.


    Steve Little, Managing Director, Certas Energy
  • I have used MDM to recruit the key members of my finance teams in both my current and previous CFO roles. Mike and Dan have an extensive knowledge of the North West finance and business communities, having built their relationships over many years. It’s this knowledge of the market and where to find key talent that is very valuable to us as a client. They carry out thorough recruitment processes and are excellent judges of candidates’ capabilities and motivations and how they might fit into a given corporate culture. I can confidently recommend MDM based on excellent experience of using them multiple times.


    James Argyle, CFO, O'Neill Patient LLP (backed by Inflexion Private Equity Partners)
  • Mike and the team at MDM ran a professional, tailored and thorough search for our CFO.  They listened to what we need not just in terms of skills and experience but also in terms of cultural fit.  We ended up with a fantastic shortlist, each of whom was excellent in presenting on the business. We are delighted with our chosen candidate who was already fitted in well and made a big difference to our business.

  • MDM recruited me into an ideal fit as Financial Controller (now Group FC) in a growing SME in my first move into industry.  They were highly professional and responsive throughout the process and would certainly recommend them.  It was clear that MDM knew their market well having been established for over 20 years, and have maintained a highly personal approach.


    Mike Balmforth, Group Financial Controller, Norkem Holdings plc
  • Mike and Dan at MDM have partnered with Radius over a number of years. They have invested time to properly understand the business and the finance team's evolving needs which has enabled them to provide a number of successful high quality senior finance hires across our expanding group - with a high ratio of successful hires to candidates introduced.


    Tim Morris, Chief Financial Officer, Radius
  • After 6 months of searching for a Financial Controller through two national financial recruitment companies we had made no progress in finding a suitable candidate.

    I was then introduced to MDM and Dan and Mike got to work. Two weeks later they introduced a candidate whom they were confident had just the right mix of experience, personality and motivation for Swizzels – and we agreed! It became a very straightforward appointment once MDM were involved.

    Dan and Mike certainly know their business and I would have no hesitation in recommending them


    Ian Walker, Finance Director, Swizzels Matlow Limited
  • When Eric Wright Group had a requirement to make a key hire of a Group Financial Controller who had the potential to quickly step up to Group Finance Director, we wanted to work with an expert who could comb the market for the best and brightest talent. Mike ran an excellent, professional process resulting in an outstanding appointment who has quickly stepped up into the Group Finance Director role as we had hoped. We were delighted with the service Mike provided and I can provide no better testimony than the fact that we have since used him again for another senior finance role with the same success. I can strongly recommend him.


    Jeremy Hartley, CEO, Eric Wright Group
  • Manchester United have used MDM for several years, primarily to source qualified finance professionals. MDM have an established reputation in the North West finance market and are diligent and discreet in the service they provide to both clients and candidates, all of which are important to us.


    Phil Chadwick, Head of Group Reporting & Tax, Manchester United
  • We instructed MDM to recruit a Group Head of Finance for our privately owned consumer products business.  They had an excellent understanding of our business and the ideal character that would fit into our team.  Dan and Mike presented a high quality, well-matched shortlist, and we appointed a high calibre candidate.
