Mr Bordoli,

My apologies for this unannounced approach, but experience has told me that this is the best way of first contacting you.

HPR is a leading firm of capital project consultants and we are currently engaged on some of the world’s largest projects in the built environment, at all stages of their life cycle. We provide strategic and operational consulting services, including project appraisal, project troubleshooting and turnaround, and expert services in claims management and dispute resolution expertise. Working in integrated teams, our Consultants present independent, authoritative and expert advice to Clients.

As in-house head-hunter I am approaching you on behalf of our consultancy business. I have learned about your experience and expertise and would like to speak with you for a further discussion about your current position, aspirations and our offering. We are currently actively recruiting experienced and qualified planning professionals for senior opportunities in London, Dubai and South Africa. Our work includes a high degree of contentious work including claims preparation, review and submission.

When possible, could you please contact me directly to make further arrangements at your convenience? Should you not wish to find out what opportunities I have at the moment, please let me know by e-mail as well? I look forward to hearing from you and hope to meet with you soon.
