Adrian Tripp, Chief Executive, Quest Media

“Ken is an executive recruiter whom I worked with while I was in London. Ken helped me fill one senior position, and we had begun to work on a second when I began my transition to New York. I found him to be straightforward, knowledgeable, and effective, with a ‘can-do’ attitude and a very nice person besides”

Jon Housman, Dow Jones

“It was a pleasure to work with you. You recommended excellent candidates for us to interview and your advice was very helpful. I expect our International territory will grow and look forward to working with you when this happens”

Cecilia Lang, WPNI, Newsweek Int'l

“I would recommend speaking with Ken Lathane at Carreras Lathane which is one of the leading, and in my mind the best, media recruitment consultancy in London”

Having worked (in my former Advertising Management role) closely with Carreras Lathane over the years, I was impressed with the professionalism and expedience that made the process particularly rewarding and enjoyable. I look forward very much to working with CLA to identify the people that will enable me to drive the business forward. Once again, sincere thanks!"
