"Touchlight started working with Morgan Prestwich two years ago to recruit a CFO and Head of HR. Prior to this we had filled all our senior positions directly. We liked the approach taken by Greg and his team: thoughtful, discreet, with a considered understanding of our company and requirement. The proof is that we are thrilled with our CFO and Head of HR and have worked with Greg on many other briefs since." Jonny Ohlson - Chairman & CEO Touchlight Genetics
