PB Jacobse, Chief Executive, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection

In a difficult time for hospitality it was a relief to find such energy and determination in our search for an executive role within our team. Dan worked tirelessly and did a great job of keeping us well updated on his progress whilst communicating clearly how long the process would take in a tricky market place. The fact he found someone who is the perfect fit for our business is testament to his expertise and I couldn’t recommend Troika more highly.
