Leadership appointments, made with discretion.

Retained executive search for boards and leadership teams in financial and professional services.

We take on a small number of searches at any one time, giving each the focus it deserves. Every assignment is led by a senior consultant from the first brief through to appointment and beyond. Retained search is a relationship, not a transaction.

We invest time at the briefing stage to understand the organisation, the team and what good looks like before we begin, and we stay closely involved at every stage. You will always know where a search stands, and who is speaking to whom on your behalf.

Why Work With Us

Retained and Focused

We work exclusively on a retained basis. Every search receives our full attention, from the first brief to the day your new leader starts.

Sector Depth

Our consultants have spent careers in financial and professional services. We understand the organisations we search for and the candidates we place.

Discreet by Design

Senior appointments need confidentiality. We manage every search with the care boards expect, and we never approach a candidate without your say-so.

We work mainly with financial services and professional services firms across London, on board-level and senior appointments where discretion and precision matter. Our clients include independent asset managers, wealth firms, law firms and listed professional services groups.

The roles we are asked to fill carry real responsibility: CFO, managing director, group HR director, general counsel. We approach each with the rigour and confidentiality it needs, and we do not take on work we cannot complete to the standard our clients and candidates expect.
