Regarding the most recent assignment for, I actually commented both before and after physically meeting the candidates that ‘this is the best shortlist I have ever seen for any position’. GrassGreener Group represent true value for money, and we are about to once again engage them for a number of international assignments. Any business looking to recruit should have no hesitation in reaching out to Paul."

"Our business in Europe now relies exclusively on GrassGreener Group for business-critical technical sales appointments. In a very short time, we have come to trust and value their unique process and in-depth understanding of the market. GrassGreener Group has helped us build a substantial and responsive direct sales force in Europe. This has resulted in a significant and measurable increase in our European sales, helping us gain complete control of our distribution network while increasing our margins and profits."

Mark Armitage
CEO at Cathay Industries Europe

"Having recently recruited for us in Europe, Paul has just assisted us (we are based in the USA) in recruiting a senior sales manager for our Australian subsidiary. He took the time to understand our unique needs and requirements, and went above and beyond to find us the perfect candidate. Paul even travelled to Melbourne to meet with candidates in person and help us conduct interviews. We were delighted with the outcome of the recruitment process, and will be working with GrassGreener Chemicals again in the future."
