Case Studies

“The right leadership of our portfolio companies is paramount to our success and, ultimately, the return on investment we can deliver for our investors. We were recently supported by the Rinnova team, led by Carl, in recruiting a new CEO for a recent investment in the healthcare sector.

While this was our first opportunity to work with Rinnova, we were impressed by their focus towards truly understanding our needs, the high degree of professionalism with which they conducted the search and the deep insights and guidance they offered throughout the process. We will certainly look to work with Rinnova again on our future leadership team requirements.”

Ahsan Ali, Ashmore, Head of Business Operations, Special Situations

“Rinnova did a great job for us delivering a short Advisory project. They offered helpful insight and constructive suggestions. The work was completed diligently and presented in a well written form, then mirrored in an engaging discussion. I would not hesitate working with Rinnova in the future.”

Simon James, St John & St Elizabeth Hospital, CEO

“I had the pleasure of working with the Rinnova team when we needed to bring in senior and executive talent. They were able to demonstrate their advisor-led model by moving incredibly quickly to deliver great candidates. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for quick and efficient recruitment solutions. Professional and committed experts – thank you!”

Andrew Cannon, Voyage Care, Chief Executive Officer

“I am impressed with the recruitment services provided by Rinnova. They have proven to be a trusted partner who understands our needs and has swiftly delivered effective solutions. Their ability to move quickly and efficiently in finding skilled and relevant talent has been invaluable to PPG’s needs.”

Tony Spencer, Practice Plus Group, Commercial Director

“Our search for a Chief Operating Officer to lead AML through the next phase of its journey was an important hire and one we couldn’t afford to get wrong. Rinnova’s advisor-led model was different – and impactful – from the start. Rather than launching directly into a traditional executive search process, their selected advisors provided independent, objective, experience-based analysis of our wider strategy.

During the executive search process, they were able to utilise the experience and networks of their advisors. They presented us with candidates that, I would argue, could only have been engaged with because of their advisor relationship. For me, Rinnova offer a unique service in delivering combined recruitment and consultancy initiatives. I have seen first-hand the power of their advisor-led model and would not hesitate in using them again.”

Richard Evans, Alliance Medical, Managing Director

“After a few unsuccessful attempts at recruiting these positions, we were recommended to Rinnova by an external advisor. Rinnova were knowledgeable and consultative; they quickly supplied us with three great candidates, and we hired two of them. They delivered excellent results, on time and to our expectations. I felt that Rinnova were proactive in keeping us up to date on the progress of the project, managing the interim relationships and keeping me abreast of developments.”

John Bateson, RNOH, Dep. Director of Strategy & Improvement

“We are pleased that Rinnova was able to support us through the process to find and appoint a Director of People & OD – at a time when DHU is expanding its business, growing its team and setting out strategic priorities through a new People Plan.”

Stephen Bateman, DHU, Chief Executive Officer

“Rinnova has been a valued recruitment partner to Frimley ICB, our experience of working with them has demonstrated an ability to respond quickly and identify a high calibre individual to support us deliver a strategically important piece of work. I would certainly use their Interim and Search practices again in the future.”

Sam Burrow, NHS Frimley, Chief Transformation & Digital Officer

“Rinnova were successful in supporting our organisation on an important recruitment initiative, supporting the preparation for a merger with another charity. The team at Rinnova were quick and efficient in understanding the need but most importantly, introducing us to a few brilliant candidates in short order. Their business model is different which seems to deliver better results, therefore we would not hesitate in working with Rinnova on recruitment initiatives in the future.”

Paul Breckell, Ambitious about Autism, Deputy CEO

“Smilepod Group has had a relationship with Rinnova for some time. We have been very impressed with Rinnova’s ongoing strategic engagement and their willingness to share experience and advice. This investment meant that when Smilepod did have a senior executive requirement, Rinnova were able to respond very quickly with a number of outstanding and highly relevant candidates, one of whom has been recruited and is proving excellent. Rinnova’s service has been exemplary and I hope to continue working with them in future.”

Mark Parry, Smilepod, Chairman

“The senior interim Rinnova provided was a pleasure to work with. He rapidly became an important part of our team, sharing his MSK and local knowledge in a way which made a huge difference to the quality of the bid. He also went the extra mile, worked long hours and was willing to travel.”

Sarah Appleton-Brown, Practice Plus Group, Head of Business Development

“We have been consistently impressed with the recruitment services provided by Rinnova. From the outset, their team took the time to thoroughly understand our business needs and company culture. This attention to detail translated into high-quality candidates who were not only qualified but a great fit for our team. The process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Rinnova, we’ve made several key hires who have already made a positive impact on our business. We highly recommend their services!”

Ian Hadingham, Sonderwell, Chief Operating Officer
