About

The story begins at Kings College School Wimbledon, where they met, back in the late 90s. Matt had become a member of Mensa and could be found representing England at chess, and on a slightly larger playing field, Gerry representing England at table tennis.

At King’s College London University, Matt studied Neuroscience and Human Biology while Gerry studied Pharmacology with Management but they also developed a happy knack for music production - a few years later holding the number one spot on Radio 1Xtra’s top 40 charts with the track ‘Who’s this’ from Dec 2002 to Jan 2003.

A roll call of achievements followed:

• Appointed management of end-to-end consultancy services for the delivery of the complete SOX internal controls programs for four FTSE 100 organisations from inception to business-as-usual across EMEA and US locations

• Forging, developing and managing business relationships with FTSE 100, 250 and NYSE– delivering contingency and retained recruitment services to over 100 such organisations. This led to the placement and embedding of new internal audit, risk and compliance & ethics individuals, teams and on occasion, entirely new functions

• Ensuring that the shared values of integrity, performance and quality are at the centre of every goal and initiative

• Awarded Best Audit Recruitment Company in the UK for three consecutive years by CV Magazine 2014, 2015 and 2016

It’s been a valuable journey so far, and with the launch of values–led recruitment in the form of auricoe, the best of Gerry and Matt’s experience is yet to unfold.

It’s fair to say that from smaller beginnings, with the right chemistry, great things can happen.
