## "Gary has recently provided invaluable support in the recruitment of several 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. "

## "I have known Gary Pike for over 13years. He placed me in an Executive role with a global US based Insurance business in 2013. Having now transitioned to an INED portfolio career, Gary has placed me as NED and Chair of Audit Committee with NPAI and Peach. Gary ensures that all candidates put forward meet the requirements as specified and therefore you know you’re being put forward with relevance and credibility for the role. Gary has a thorough and detailed understanding of the Insurance Non Executive Director landscape. He clearly articulated the opportunity that matched my iNED requirement and demonstrated his professionalism and clear communication throughout the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary and Insure NED Search to any organisation”"

## "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.  ”"

## "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.”"

## "We worked with Gary on the appointment of Mike Ellis as a Non‑Executive Director and found the process to be professional, pragmatic and well‑calibrated. Their depth of insurance sector knowledge and international network, including experience sourcing candidates into Gibraltar, resulted in a high‑quality and a well‑executed appointment. The process inspired confidence throughout and delivered exactly what we were looking for at Board level. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary and Insure NED Search to insurers seeking senior non‑executive appointments.

## "I’ve known Gary for 16 years when he approached me and I was successfully appointed as Underwriting Director at an MGA in the UK. Since then we have kept in touch and he has been a great mentor. When we were discussing my desire to move into iNED positions he was very supportive and matched me with a role in Gibraltar (where I had been based for 3 years). He knew that I would add a lot of value to Collingwood Insurance Company’s board and worked hard to ensure that both parties were happy with the appointment.   Gary is highly experienced in Executive Recruitment and has very many C-suite connections. He fully understands both his candidates skills and experience, and also takes the time to understand the needs of his clients – making a match very much more likely.   I’d have no hesitation in recommending Gary’s services, whether I was looking to recruit or seek further iNED opportunities.”"
