Asset finance recruitment, done by specialists
Founded in 2021 by Adam Sommerville after years building a leasing recruitment desk, James George is run on honesty, integrity and commitment to the people we work with.
What we do
Our specialist area is asset finance and the commercial lending around it, and we help with roles in wider financial services too. Tier 1 and Tier 2 funders, captive and manufacturer lessors, and the UK’s brokerages come to us for sales, credit, operations, collections, finance and leadership hires.
Because it’s where we spend most of our time, we know who’s good, who’s thinking of moving and what the market will pay. Clients get a short list of people who meet or beat the brief; candidates get straight advice and roles that genuinely fit.

Meet Adam Sommerville
Managing Director
Adam has more than 20 years’ experience in recruitment, most of it in banking and financial services, with leasing and asset finance as his specialism. In 2018 he joined an award-winning recruitment consultancy and built its leasing division, then set up James George Recruitment in 2021, something he’d wanted to do for a long time.
He has a 2.1 in Business Management. Six months backpacking shaped the way he sees different cultures, and he values transparency and an inclusive workplace.
Why “James George”?
The business is named after Adam’s two sons, and he calls them the key motivation behind it.
