Rewired Consulting, founded by David Ferguson and Sean Patterson in 2021, was born from a vision to bring a fresh, high-quality approach to the recruitment industry. With decades of experience in recruitment and technology, David and Sean saw firsthand the limitations and inconsistencies in service offered by larger agencies. Recognising a need for a recruitment business focused on meaningful relationships and top-notch service, together they created Rewired Consulting to deliver superior results and long-term value for clients.
David said: “We wanted to build something different. A business that values lasting relationships with clients and candidates—where the focus is on quality, not quantity.”
Navigating Early Growth Challenges
As Rewired Consulting gained traction and expanded its client base, David and Sean faced the natural challenges that come with rapid growth. Managing larger contracts, meeting increased demand, and maintaining strong client relationships all added complexity. They realised they needed a financial and operational partner who could keep pace with their growth ambitions while helping them maintain a personalised touch with clients.
The challenge was clear: Rewired needed a reliable partner to streamline financial management and payroll so they could focus on what mattered most—serving clients and growing the business.
The APositive Solution
To solve these challenges, David and Sean turned to APositive. Through tailored financial and payroll solutions, APositive helped Rewired Consulting manage cash flow effectively, even with clients on extended payment terms. The partnership provided the flexibility and stability needed to ensure payroll obligations were met on time, allowing David and Sean to devote more energy to expanding the business. David shared:
“Partnering with APositive has made a huge difference for us. Their invoice funding and payroll management have been a game-changer. We can keep growing, knowing APositive has our back when it comes to cash flow and payroll.”

APositive’s partnership with Rewired Consulting is marked by the exceptional support provided by Andi, who has managed Rewired’s payroll since day one. Andi’s responsiveness and care for the Rewired team have been invaluable in helping Rewired operate smoothly on the backend.
David said: “Andi is an absolute superstar. She’s super responsive, always asking how we are, and she’s genuinely happy to help. It makes us feel valued and part of the APositive family. We’d love to use their services for the rest of our days here at Rewired.”
