Who We Are

With over 20 years’ experience Sue Rees Associates has continued to support Founders and CEO’s in attracting the best talent for their business. Ensuring you have the time to focus on your daily business demands in moving the company forward.

Born in Swansea, and with a distinguished background in Headhunting, Sue started the business when she noticed a lack of professionalism, expertise and commitment in the market. Companies often used inexperienced staff to make many cold calls and then send a plethora of CV’s. Without taking the time to understand the client’s needs or the business culture.

In 2005 Sue decided it was time for a change.

Since that time, Sue Rees Associates has maintained longevity in getting under the skin of each client, offering advice and guidance. Delivering a service that is specifically tailored to each client  based on the ULARIS model Sue has created.

“Sue takes away the stress and time that I simply don’t have when I am looking to expand my leadership team,” said Chris Clarke, CEO of The Engineering Trust.

“To cut a long story short, Sue became my saviour. Even from the initial meeting, it was clear that working with Sue was going to be a far better experience. Sue went through the whole process, spending time to understand the organisation and our culture. She talked through solutions, salary and overall package, as well as the cultural fit and experience that the right person needed.”

"Sue is a very good, client-focused recruiter who took the time to learn about our business and about us and presented a range of very good candidates. I would recommend Sue to anyone."

"Sue was recommended to me by a colleague. From the start I knew she was the best person to help me. Sue took the time to understand my experience, career aspirations and also got to know me as a person. She not only has a wealth of experience but has the passion and drive to ensure she gets the best people for the right role. She was instrumental in finding me my next board level position and I would highly recommend here."

Stephen Huggett, CFO, The Earth Trust

“I am passionate about what I do, and I know I can add value to a business by offering guidance and support in finding the best person”

Sue’s passion is driven by developing a relationship with your company and having a deep understanding of the type of person that would fit into the business. 

“You can get many people with the right experience but only a selection with the right personality and fit,” Sue says. 

Many founders and CEOs try and attract a person very similar to themselves, but this isn’t always the wisest strategy. You do need to consider a diverse range of talent. 

Working with a person from outside of the business enables them to review all options from a very different perspective.
