Gary and Right International was successful in identifying a great candidate to lead our insurance claims innovation effort in the Caribbean and Latin America. They project managed the transition for the candidate seamlessly despite the distance and 5hr time zone difference.

Brian Williams
Co-founder and CEO, 247indigo.com

I have worked with Gary and his team at Right International for a number of years now, initially as a candidate who was treated with the utmost professionalism and integrity and subsequently as a business client seeking the very best talent to add to our own organisation.

They are no ordinary recruitment firm – imagine getting to know all of your candidates not just when they are looking for a new role but also throughout their careers, being on hand to support and advise them.  This is exactly what you experience with all of the team here.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their fantastic services to my clients and will continue to partner with Right International for many years to come.

Paul Taylor
Chief Customer & Commercial Officer, Minster Law

I’ve worked with Gary for a number of years now, both as a client and a candidate and the experience has been consistent. He uniquely stands out from his competitors.

Working with Gary has been a refreshingly pleasing experience. He has a deep understanding of the Private Equity landscape, and the specific talent demands of PE-backed businesses within the MGA and Broker Insurance market. What truly sets the company apart is their ability to operate and think differently so as to be able to identify and attract high-calibre candidates who not only have the right technical expertise, but also align culturally and commercially with fast-growth, investor-backed environments.

Gary and Right International always consistently delivers exceptional candidates, and does so with pace, discretion, and absolute professionalism. Their track record speaks for itself, and they have become a trusted recruitment partner for our business. I would highly recommend them to any PE-backed insurance organisation looking to secure best-in-class talent.

Martin Tyler
Chief Financial Officer, Sodalis Capital Limited

I have known and worked with Gary over many years, both in assisting with hires and providing invaluable advice when hiring.

He has always taken time to understand our requirements and has matched personnel from his extensive range of contacts to our role descriptions brilliantly.

I have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone throughout the Financial Services sector, and to anyone who is looking to develop their careers with the extensive range of Companies that Gary can introduce people to.

Russell Crewe
Chief Executive Officer, Evolution Claims Management

I have worked with Right International for many years and they have consistently proven to be an invaluable, trusted partner in executive and management recruitment.

Their deep understanding of the insurance market and commitment to finding candidates with the right cultural and professional fit is exceptional. What really sets them apart is their ability to identify suitable candidates who are not actively seeking roles, engage with them and open up a conversation with the best prospects, not just the ones who are ‘open to new opportunities’ on LinkedIn like so many other recruiters.

With Right International I have always had complete confidence that they will not recommend a candidate that is not right for us. Other recruiters I have used in the past often ‘sell’ a candidate even when they are not a good fit, the focus seemingly on their fee rather than what’s best for us or the candidate.

In recent years Gary and his team have found me top quality hires for a Managing Director role and a Claims Manager role, neither successful candidate was actively seeking roles at the time they were approached by Right International. Both candidates have proven great assets to the respective businesses.

Ian McManus
MD, Noble Insurance Group and Chair, Civil Service Insurance Society

Gary has been a trusted partner for many years and someone I’ve valued greatly, both as a recruiter and a market confidant. His understanding of how the insurance market operates is unparalleled, and his ability to connect with people at all levels — from senior executives to emerging talent — sets him apart. Gary combines deep market insight with integrity and professionalism, consistently delivering results that strengthen our business and relationships across the industry. A true partner who adds real value.

Simon Trott
CEO, Ancile Insurance

Gary has recently provided invaluable support in the recruitment of two new iNED positions, quickly establishing a long initial list of diverse candidates who met our criteria and helping us to create a shortlist of candidates for interview, leading to successful appointments! His encyclopaedic knowledge of the market helped us accelerate access to the right profile of candidates and I would highly recommend his services.

Russell White
Chief Executive Officer at NPAI and Peach Pi

Gary takes the time to properly understand the requirements of a role and matches his feedback to that understanding when he presents the shortlist of candidates. His approach is personal and communication throughout the process is first class.

Mike Jones
Independent Consultant - Claims Strategy | Board Advisory | NED | M&A

I was recommended to use Right International for an Executive hire within our business. Gary Pike and his team were very thorough and did what they said they were going to do. Their attention to detail in understanding my requirements and importantly, the right type of individual that would thrive in our working environment, was great. I was presented with an outstanding shortlist of candidates and I hired one.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary and his team to anyone looking to fill key roles in a professional timely manner.

Nick Wright
Chief Business Development Officer at Pen Underwriting - UK

I have had the pleasure of seeking Gary’s assistance over many years now. He takes the time to understand exactly what is required and seeks out the perfect fit for the brief. Gary’s in-depth knowledge and extensive network connections, make him the perfect choice for recruiting the very best talent the insurance market has to offer. Always a true professional and great fun to work with.

Colin Thompson
Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Sodalis Capital Limited (previously CEO Nexus Underwriting & Kentro Capital)

I was initially referred to Gary by a trusted contact in the market to help me explore new career opportunities. I was impressed by Gary’s knowledge and extensive contacts across the Claims and Insurance market. He soon introduced me to a number of leading organisations. Gary takes time to understand what you are looking for and develops lasting relationships. He and Jessica Power make a good team and she is effective, efficient and always willing to assist.

I would recommend Gary to any company looking to hire across the Claims and wider Insurance society and to any candidate looking to explore career opportunities.

 

Karl Parr
Claims Technical & Central Services Director at AXA Insurance

I have worked with Gary on a number of senior recruitment assignments and find his approach to be very diligent, taking the time to fully understand the brief, as well as challenging what it is the business has to offer in order to attract the right person.

The time invested upfront has always paid dividends in then subsequently finding high calibre candidates. Both he and his team are then great at keeping both parties fully informed throughout the process and I also like the fact that he keeps in touch with candidates and the business afterwards to ensure all is going well and I don’t just mean a one off call a few weeks later!

I would have no hesitation in engaging Gary and Right International again in the future, despite his taste in football team!

Jon Walker
Chief Executive Officer at AXA Commercial

I have worked with Gary over many years and have found the thought and process that goes into every assignment is second to none. RI have successfully built a reputation for high end delivery that is so often missing in firms that operate in this space and is therefore incredibly valuable to me in my role. Working with RI has been a low risk and low stress strategy which is cemented by a business model that thrives on personal recommendations.

Lee Anderson
Deputy Group CEO at Specialist Risk Group

I have used Right International several times to source key individuals. Gary and the team understand the business, its culture and its needs and therefore only introduce us to candidates who fit the criteria, saving us both time and money. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Right and would recommend using their services.

Karen Beales
Non Executive Director, Financial & Legal Insurance Company Ltd and Antares Insurance Co.

Gary and his team have successfully helped on a number of key senior vacancies. With a detailed and thorough approach to the search he was able to introduce variety that helped shape my thinking on the right individual for the business. In our competitive market, I would highly recommend Gary for anyone looking for fast, quality results.
