In-depth executive search

Our specialist international Partners understand different business cultures and values and they find the best candidates for each location. We’ve completed business build-outs in many geographies, helping organisations launch or expand in different regions on time and to budget.

Strong record in board appointments

Our Board Practice team have many years’ experience in helping find and appoint high calibre chairs, non-executives and advisers across sectors in the UK and internationally. We draw on our wide networks, as well as deep understanding of governance issues, and work closely with clients to deliver candidates that align with their values, mission and ambition.

We’re also committed to diversity – including in age, education, gender and ethnicity – and have helped transform the profile of many boards.

interim talent

Our Executive Interim and Consulting service works with speed, care and precision to fill key gaps and lead critical projects for our clients. With a network that spans many major global markets, we can identify exceptional candidates for adviser, senior leader and technical expert roles. We will also collaborate with your investors, board and management to ensure each appointment aligns with broader organisational goals.

Transformative strategic guidance

We partner with many of our clients to provide insight, intelligence and advice on culture, people strategy and the competitive landscape. Our trusted industry experts provide guidance in areas such as M&A research, cultural fit, risk assessment, succession planning, competitor analysis, business diversification, geographical expansion, remuneration benchmarking, and introductions to sources of capital.

Unique insights on equity, diversity and inclusion

Our EDI Advisory services – including tailored audits, projects and training – support your journey towards best practice. By engaging staff, management and others, we help you build inclusive cultures, diverse leadership and strong stakeholder relations. Our data-driven approach supports change at all levels, helping you stay ahead of legal requirements and make sustained progress.

A deep focus on industry intelligence

We value company and industry intelligence over functional specialisms. Put simply, we believe its most important for our Partners to understand your organisation’s strategic goals, cultural values and your competitive landscape. For example. For example, we appointed 30 chief financial officers in FY25 – without needing a dedicated CFO practice – thanks to client trust in our expertise.
