Ray Hewitt made his mark in leasing by being
the first person to establish a recruitment company for the UK’s
equipment finance sector.
Hewitt Management Selection, which Ray set up
in 1975 to service the increasing resourcing needs of the then fast
expanding leasing sector, became a model for later leasing
recruitment companies.
Furthermore, according to Miles Clarke,
director of specialist recruiter CBC Search and Selection: “Many of
today’s specialist recruitment providers were employed, trained and
inspired by Ray over the last 25 years.”
Clarke added: “Indeed, many of today’s
industry ‘names and leaders’ received their first break into the
leasing market after answering one of Ray’s weekly advertisements
in the regional and national press.”

By GlobalDataRay established Hewitt as a one-man-band based
in Altrincham, Cheshire, following an early career in sales at
Lloyds and Scottish Finance in Manchester.
In establishing the recruitment company, Ray
was “opportunistic in identifying the need for someone to ‘plug’
the specialist recruitment gap in the sector”, Clarke added.
He said: “Ray’s extensive industry knowledge,
wit and humour will be sadly missed by all that knew him over the
last 25-plus years.”
