Penna Testimonials

“During my time as a Local Government employee I worked with an excellent public sector finance provider for the recruitment of high quality and experienced interims; CIPFA placements. They always served me and my authority very well. Now, having taken the step into the interim market myself, I am represented by the one of the best in the business; a combination of public sector ethos and private sector ‘nouse’ the newly established partnership between CIPFA and Penna has it all.”

“CIPFA Penna Team Philippa Watkins and Anthony Hopkin recently recruited me to the Service Head of Finance and Procurement at Tower Hamlets Council. The process was rigorous, as you would expect, and involved several steps: psychometric and aptitude testing; scenario based activities; and two rounds of interviews. I was kept fully informed by Philippa and Anthony about progress through the process and what I should expect at each stage.They also worked hard to fit the various components around my busy work schedule. Once I knew I had been successful, they liaised with Tower Hamlets to progress the various administrative requirements promptly. I've now started and had several calls to see how things are going. I have also used the CIPFA Penna team for recruiting temporary and permanent staff in my previous roles and I know that this level of service is the norm for all of the campaigns that they manage. I would highly recommend their services from both a recruiting and candidate perspective.”
