A Partner Who Speaks Your Language

In the executive search market, true industry insight is rare. Many consultants have never managed a project, read a complex contract, or negotiated a final account.


My background as a qualified, internationally experienced Quantity Surveyor is not just part of my history; it is the foundation of my entire search process. This "poacher turned gamekeeper" perspective provides a decisive advantage in securing the right leadership for your organisation.

We Vet for Technical Competence


I speak the language of your most complex roles, from the C-suite to senior technical leadership.


This allows me to properly vet a candidate's operational and technical competence in a way that a non-industry expert simply cannot.


This shared language builds immediate credibility, allowing for deeper, more honest conversations that uncover a candidate's true capabilities and their potential blind spots.

We Understand Commercial Risk

A generalist recruiter sees a CV with a list of projects. I see a commercial track record.


Because I have managed complex commercial packages and project finances firsthand, I can conduct a far more rigorous assessment of a candidate. I can move beyond their prepared answers and hold a peer-to-peer discussion to probe their genuine understanding of:


  • Risk mitigation
  • Contractual negotiation
  • Margin protection
  • Supply chain management


This process effectively de-risks your most critical appointments, ensuring you hire leaders who protect your bottom line.

We Provide Unmatched Access


My 30-year career as both a QS and a specialist search consultant has built a "black book" of contacts grounded in mutual respect and shared experience.


This gives you access to an exceptional, passive network of senior leaders and high-performers who will not engage with a standard recruiter. They take my call because they know I understand their world.

In retained search, you are buying judgment. My judgment is not formed from recruitment theory; it is formed from decades of real-world commercial and project experience.
