Roger and I have been business colleagues for a number of years and, as with many hospitality relationships, this has grown to be a long standing friendship too. Roger has searched for me personally and headhunted for me on behalf of a business numerous times. His rounded knowledge of the industry and its traditions coupled with his broad contact base means he is well positioned to search, advise and secure the right roles and candidates. Many query the value head hunters / recruiters hold but once you have found the right one, that value clearly presents itself. From the initial time searching through to pairing down a list, vetting, reference checking and the administration around interviewing/meetings. Over the time taken with these, the minutes and hours add up creating a compelling opportunity cost advantage for any business leader. Roger not only delivers with these elements but does so with strong values and principles and clear passion for our [hospitality] industry. I would not hesitate in recommending Roger’s services.

Roger is an exceptionally dedicated to his business. I have used Eastfield on both sides of the recruitment spectrum, and they have produced good results on every occasion. As recruiters he stands out in so far as he really takes the time to understand your requirements when you are looking for a new position or looking to fill a position. Not only that, but he also really cares about you as an individual.
I would highly recommend Eastfield Associates as great recruiters at the higher end of the hospitality Industry.

I have worked with Roger for many years while in several roles working in both a private and corporate environment. His flexible approach and ability to match the right candidate to the vacancy make him my first choice when I am recruiting – be it for a GM, chef, restaurant manager or Front of house specialist.
Roger builds relationships with his clients and candidates and understands how they work beyond what is written on a cv – it means he matches people rather than just fills gaps which tends to give longevity to the appointment which intern supports business development.
