I think if other membership associations are looking for a recruitment agency, I would highly recommend Membership Bespoke. The service they provide, they listen to us, they take on board our feedback, they tweak the candidates we get through. And they now get us. So we continue to work with them as a partner, and they are providing us every time we have a vacancy with quality candidates first time.

Julian Davis

Chief Operating Officer - WorldCC: World Commerce & Contracting

Membership Bespoke did an excellent job. The talent identified was very strong, which meant we were selecting from a pool of strong candidates. They were easy to work with and the speed of communication and keeping in touch throughout the process meant that we were able to secure the talented people we needed, while working against a very competitive backdrop. They needed to pull upon their experience of the membership sector and use their expertise to search other sectors to find us the team we required to get up and running quickly to provide the services needed by the membership at a challenging time.

Andrew Heffernan

Head of Member Services - R3

The position of Commercial Director is vital to our organisation’s leadership, playing a key role in our ongoing development. After an initial attempt to fill this important role proved unsuccessful, we turned to Membership Bespoke for their expert help. Their deep understanding of our specific needs and thoughtful approach resulted in an excellent appointment that has already begun driving meaningful progress for the BDIA.

Edmund Proffitt

Chief Executive - British Dental Industry Association

TAF has a long-standing and hugely valuable relationship with Membership Bespoke, providing our members with insight and advice based on their years of experience as the leading membership recruiter in the UK. Their expertise in the membership employment market is second-to-none.

Emily Wallace

CEO - Trade Association Forum

Membership Bespoke supported our institution in recruiting a new role in a difficult market within a tight time frame. They rapidly delivered against the brief and were on hand at all times to support the process with quick turnaround times. We had a great experience working with the team and a successful recruitment process.

Membership Director -

Leading Chartered Professional Body

I reached out to Daniel at Membership Bespoke after an extended and unsuccessful period of trying to fill a Senior Marketing position. Daniel quickly got to grips with the nature of the role and skills we were looking for but also took time to understand the culture of our organisation. He very quickly identified a strong shortlist of candidates who were appointable. We have since used the team at Membership Bespoke for a finance role and again were delighted with the calibre of candidates put forward.

Clare Bello

CEO - Cornerstone Barristers

Membership Bespoke ran an excellent and efficient recruitment campaign for two executive posts in our marketing team. They understood quickly how the membership ethos translates into the barrister chambers environment, adapted their longlists to our feedback, and put forward some strong and straightforwardly appointable candidates.

Mark Ballinger

Head of Communications and Marketing - Twenty Essex

We found ourselves in need of a new Trade Policy and Committees Manager as our current person was approaching retirement. It was essential to identify an individual with significant experience in overseeing committees and an in-depth knowledge of the food industry. We sought assistance from Membership Bespoke, given their thorough expertise of the membership sector. Their ability to grasp our requirements was exceptional, and they presented us with an impressive selection of talent. Ultimately, we shortlisted two remarkable candidates, making the final choice rather difficult, but we are satisfied with our decision!
