Client Testimonials
Partnering with Growth Team Consulting has been genuinely transformative for Iridescent. JD and his team quickly grasped the complexity of our operating environment and the pace at which we’re scaling. Their support during the deployment of our technology across third-party partnerships was strategic, thoughtful, and incredibly well-executed, the consultants they placed brought exactly the right mix of technical understanding and commercial pragmatism.
JD | Founder & CEO | Iridescent AI | Learning TechnologyÂ
Where GTC really stood out, though, was in helping us secure two pivotal C-suite hires in Operations and Finance. These weren’t just recruitment exercises; they were mission-critical leadership appointments. JD acted as a trusted advisor throughout, challenging our thinking, shaping the brief, and ultimately introducing high-calibre individuals who’ve made a significant impact from day one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GTC to any founder or investor looking to build a world-class team.
CPO | PE backed services businessÂ
I worked with John Dyson during a period of significant transformation while serving as CPO for a multi-billion-pound oil and gas business.
John consistently demonstrated pace and precision in his approach, delivering outstanding candidates who not only met the brief but enhanced our leadership capability.
His understanding of complex, fast-moving environments set him apart from other executive recruiters, and his ability to grasp the subtleties of our changing business needs was exceptional. John was a trusted partner throughout, providing advice and insight that added real value. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any organisation seeking top-tier talent.
CPO | International Oil & Gas
GTC were a trusted partner in our search for a CFO and Chief People Officer. John Dyson and the team demonstrated outstanding market knowledge, professionalism, and discretion throughout both processes. They delivered excellent shortlists, ensuring a strong cultural and technical fit. We were delighted to appoint to both of the positions and both of whom have made a significant impact. The communication, care, and tailored approach we received were first class. I would not hesitate to recommend John Dyson as an executive search partner. Thank you John for supporting our growth journey!
MM | Process and Controls Lead | PE Backed e-commerceÂ
I was first approached by John about a role that turned out to be a perfect fit, not just for my skills but the head office location and my career goals. It’s been over a year since I started the role and I still receive regular check-in calls from him, which is rare and speaks volumes about his integrity, professionalism, and passion for what he does. I can’t recommend John highly enough, if you’re looking for a strategic partner in your career journey, GTC should be your first call. Thank you and speak soon!

I had a great experience working with John. He stayed in touch throughout the process, which made everything feel personal and supportive. It was clear he genuinely cared about the role being the right fit for both me and the business he was assisting.
Professional, approachable, and really easy to work with. I’d highly recommend John to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly puts people first.
SC | Head of Audit | PE backed e-commerce
I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from John Dyson throughout my journey to securing my new role as Chief Partnership Officer. From our very first conversation, John demonstrated a deep understanding of the industry, a commitment to excellence, and a genuine passion for connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
What truly set John apart was his personalised approach and professionalism. He took the time to understand my aspirations, strengths, and values, and matched them with an opportunity that aligns with both my experience and long-term goals. At every stage, John provided valuable insight, constructive feedback, and encouragement, ensuring I felt fully prepared and confident throughout the process. It is rare to find someone so skilled and genuinely invested in your success.
Thanks to John’s guidance, I am excited to step into this next chapter of my career. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any organisation or professional looking to find the right match.
