“Smilepod Group has had a relationship with Rinnova for some time. We have been very impressed with Rinnova’s ongoing strategic engagement and their willingness to share experience and advice. This investment meant that when Smilepod did have a senior executive requirement, Rinnova were able to respond very quickly with a number of outstanding and highly relevant candidates, one of whom has been recruited and is proving excellent. Rinnova’s service has been exemplary and I hope to continue working with them in future.”
