“We were looking for an innovation specialist to help us around the process of validating/developing a new business proposition and product line. Having used BH before we knew they would be able to help, they quickly understood our needs, helped us understand what was possible, and worked at speed to get us just the right person. Would recommend without question.”

“I became acquainted with BH through a colleague when we needed to scale a technology team fast. They listened and quickly understood our individual targets. Most importantly for me they delivered immediately! They have an amazing network so we have found them to be both a partner for our people growth but also a network to help scale our business. They are our secret weapon!”
CEO, Web3 Business

BH were quick to respond and had options to us within days, some stand-out candidates and real industry leaders. We were quick to engage our favourite, he was pivotal in getting things across the line. We would always work with BH when given the opportunity.”
