“I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy Tavender and Broster Buchanan. From the very first call, Lucy was professional, approachable, and really took the time to understand both my career goals and what I was looking for in my next role.

“A mutual contact put me in touch with Lucy at Broster Buchanan earlier this year when I was looking for a new job. Lucy was fantastic – she kept me up to date at all times and was only a WhatsApp message or call away if I had any questions or concerns. She successfully placed me in a really interesting role I wouldn’t have come across myself.”
– Caroline, Candidate Review (2025)
