Candidate Testimonials
Deborah was a absolute pleasure to deal with managing a difficult decision to move from a long term tenure at an established Global Insurer to major Lloyds Syndicate. The process from start to finish was handled extremely professionally with Deborah’s extensive experience, support and honesty as well as deep knowledge of the marketplace, resulting in the delivery of a service second to none. At no time did I feel pressured and any query I had about the role was communicated quickly and efficiently to the appropriate person within the Syndicate with responses provided very quickly.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Deborah to anyone wanting a consummate professional and expert in the field, for a Senior Role

I was approached by Deborah Newton at Newton Ray in respect of a position of Head of Construction Underwriting. My details had been obtained via a detailed search that Deborah had undertaken. The selection process was very rigorous and thorough to ensure that I was indeed the appropriate person for the position and that the position was suitable for me. At each stage of the process I was appraised by Deborah of developments and briefed as to the expectations and key issues enabling the interviews to focus on the main elements of the role.The whole process was very well managed and promptly brought to a satisfactory conclusion for all parties concerned. A first class experience.

Head of Business Class,
Lloyd’s syndicate
I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing Deborah for many years. During which time, I have seen first hand her impeccable skills within the Insurance Recruitment sector. Firstly, through numerous placement opportunities she brought to me personally and more recently, where she has acted on my behalf for various market mapping and recruitment assignments. Having a background in the industry gives her a unique understanding of the industry, however, it is her dedication and honesty that makes her the stand out in her field.
