Gareth Davies
Gareth has 20 years’ experience with the group he has successfully supported a broad range of companies, across all industries, in their search for senior finance professionals.
Having graduated from Oxford University with a BA(Hons) in Geography, he joined Michael Page on the graduate intake of 2005. Since then, he has had a progressive career including a stint in the New York office, and a succession of management and leadership roles which have involved both directly recruiting and leading businesses focusing on recruitment into practice, not for profit and all industries. Gareth has recently returned to his roots to focus exclusively on C-Suite Finance hires in the North West for OMB, SME and PE/VC backed companies.
Gareth’s 20 years’ experience both living and recruiting finance roles in the North West has given him an enviable network within the finance community, and his involvement with the North West Finance business for Michael Page gives him access to an unrivalled network of future talent for his customers. As someone who has built a leadership career within a FTSE250 he is also someone for whom trust and an ability to sensitively handle confidential information sits at the very core.

Testimonials
Gareth invested time meeting me in London and the local management team in Lancashire to gauge cultural fit. The shortlisted candidates were all very effectively pre-screened. The process was robust, yet speedy. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Gareth to handle any senior or sensitive financial appointment. Nick Ball, Group Finance Director, Plastics Capital
Gareth understands the business needs & delivers to the brief repetitively with a business partner approach to a very high standard. I would always recommend Gareth to support senior position recruitment. Sarah Garvie, Finance Director, Ryder Inc
I couldn’t recommend Gareth enough. His advice, knowledge of the market and the time he took (without personal gain) showed what a standout person he is. It was invaluable in helping me navigate finding a new FD/CFO role. Gareth is a rare find in the world of recruitment. Zoe Collins, Group Finance Director, Ultimate Performance
Gareth is a consummate, results-driven professional. He is enthusiastic and was a pleasure to work with. He played a key role in my taking the next step of my career, and I fully endorse his work. Steven Kingham, Financial Due Diligence Partner, Alvarez & Marsal
