"I can’t recommend Davies Marsh highly enough. They helped me to find a dream roll in one of the best wealth management business in the UK. Very professional and polite, I’ll forever be grateful."
Craig Berry
Placed BDM (Feb 2025)
"I have known Gareth for many years. He has an excellent professional network with all the major institutions and many of the boutiques and new market entrants. Gareth has always taken the time to understand my career ambitions and sought to match me to the 'right' fit for me, and NOT simply add me to a candidate list for a search mandate. He looks to align quality candidate and quality roles to achieve a 'win-win' outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gareth to candidates looking for the 'right' career move, and to firms looking for quality over quantity. One of the 'good' guys!"

"Finding a balance when working with Recruitment Consultants is such an important one and I find myself always looking for the right combination of expertise, knowledge and engagement. Gareth combines professional, personable, collaborative, and structured engagement but also really strived to make the process simple and effective. Communication was excellent with quick responses to questions or concerns. His network of contacts was an extremely impressive one and he is highly skilled in sourcing and screening to put forward the right candidate, listening carefully to the hiring culture and matching my own high standards in his selection, it almost felt like he was hiring the person too!

Placed candidate (August 2023)
"I’ve worked with Gareth Davies for a few years now and he has provided me with a string of quality candidates some of which I’ve been able to place into my own team. I have found Gareth takes the time to understand exactly what I’m looking for by asking the right questions and he has proved very reliable in providing candidates that fit nicely with the skills and qualities that I’m looking for. In turn this has saved me huge time and effort in my search for the right candidates."
