Allen Lane Financial was established in 2004 by James Allen and Ben Lane and is now a market leader in Public Sector Financial Recruitment. Following successful careers in a large consultancy environment focusing solely on Public and Not-for-Profit Sector appointments, James and Ben chose to establish a new type of consultancy based on an unrivalled depth of specialist Public Sector knowledge, excellent customer service, better all round judgment and one point of contact.
In using Allen Lane, both candidates and clients will receive the professionalism associated with a large, established consultancy combined with the flexibility, personality and superior service that a smaller, 'owner run' business offers. Allen Lane is a financial recruitment consultancy that will listen to what is genuinely important to clients and candidates.

Allen Lane offers principles and values that are different, refreshing and currently rare in a marketplace where clients and candidates frequently have to accept a 'half-hearted' and second-rate service. These qualities are the foundation of Allen Lane Financial Recruitment and the reason why people continue to come back to us:-
Greater sector experience and understanding
Over 10 years specialising in recruiting roles within the public and not-for-profit marketplace.

Price/Rate flexibility & transparency
We can be price/rate flexible because we are 'owner run' and have the autonomy to discount. We do not believe that clients should pay excessive margins or that candidates should have to struggle to gain a rate increase if their work merits it.

First class customer service
We have experienced the very best and worst of the recruitment industry. As a result, we personally commit to delivering the best customer service for clients and candidates.

Don't differentiate between clients and candidates
Most recruitment consultancies provide a good customer service to clients at the expense of the service they give to candidates. We believe that this is wrong and treat candidates and clients with the same respect.

Time
We service one sector (public/non-profit) and one discipline in finance. This narrow field of expertise means that we have more time to devote to learning about your business and the people within it. Consequently we can respond to your needs quickly and effectively, leaving you more time to deal with the pressing issues of the day.
