Just a few of the lovely things people have said about me and my work…

I worked with Tom for 12 months having joined Stopgap at the height of pandemic and found him to be one of the best recruitment marketers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with many of the great and good across my 25 year career).

He is authentic, dedicated and highly knowledgeable which is reflected in the success he has had in promoting the Stopgap brand through PPC and SEO activity. In my short time working with Tom we were able to create truly engaging content for clients and candidates alike in a brand new market for Stopgap (Tech) for which it had no previous track record with great success.

Tom was always available, ready to listen and able to shape and guide the recruitment teams he worked with with passion, energy and enthusiasm.

He’s a great guy to boot.

Kraig Smith – Recruitment Director

The headline message is that we’ve been really impressed. I won’t bore you with the details but our SEO was a mess, and I wasn’t sure where to start to sort it out. Bold referred Tom to us, and he’s done everything we have asked and more. He’s knowledgeable, helpful, responsive and good value compared to some other SEO ‘experts’ we had discussions with. It’s still relatively early days, but Tom has made a really good progress and we’re enjoying working with him.

Joe Rees – Director | Recruiter (Thornton Legal)

I’ve worked with Tom on numerous occasions as we evolved the look and feel of the Stopgap brand. He’s a true professional who understands the ins and outs of the creative process, encouraging fresh thinking and new ideas. His ability to set clear briefs and outline the project scope is truly refreshing. He’s collaborative and open to questions but also understanding of ‘space’ to allow ideas to flourish. It’s a joy to work with someone who recognises the importance of good design.

Glen Birchall – Founder and Creative Director

I worked with Tom for a period of 12 months to help develop our SEO outreach function, he helped opened new doors and opportunities that allowed us to focus on every vertical of search. The working relationship was easy and he required little knowledge of the task at hand to be able to go above and beyond the original deliverables. His knowledge of SEO gives him the ability to hit the ground running once the project requirements are defined. Highly recommended, it’s been a pleasure, Tom.

Brett Saltalamacchia – SEO Lead at Hargreaves Lansdown

Tom is not only one of the most personable account managers to work with, from both a colleague and client perspective, but his knowledge and creative ability really sets him apart.

Tom has the great ability to capture client needs and translate them into the various disciplines required to get the job done. His strategic and creative thinking provide added value that sometimes other account managers can lack. I would recommend Tom in a heartbeat.

Craig Graham – Branding, Creative Direction and Web Design Studio

I’d highly recommend Tom to any marketing team. He’s a team player, super creative and dynamic. He’s got a broad marketing skillset, and is a particularly talented copywriter. It was great working with Tom and any organisation would be lucky to have him!

Sarah Windsor – Lead Marketing Recruitment Consultant – B2B tech.

Tom joined the business as a consultant to help with our new website build and launch. We were also looking for someone who had the expertise to help build out our outbound marketing strategy and implementation. Tom did a great job integrating himself into the marketing function and linking in the sales department, completing the project on time and to a great standard. We will still be working with Tom to continue our marketing journey and would highly recommend for any business that is looking for any support with particular projects or advice on marketing strategy. Tom’s a great laugh, loves Peep Show and is not a bad left back if you need an extra for the odd football tournament. Thanks for all of your help buddy and hope our paths cross again in the future.
