At the highest levels of leadership, every appointment matters. We partner with organisations at pivotal moments when the right leadership makes a defining difference.

We are a boutique search firm focused exclusively on C-suite and senior executive mandates. Our model is intentionally different: fewer searches, deeper engagement, and uncompromising standards throughout. We take a highly personal and considered approach to every mandate. We invest time in understanding each client’s vision and each candidate’s motivations, ensuring alignment that goes far beyond experience alone.

We operate with discretion and precision, advising both established organisations and high-growth businesses on leadership that shapes direction, culture, and performance. Our reach extends beyond active candidates, enabling us to connect clients with individuals who are rarely on the market but often the right choice. A discreet, referral-built network of exceptional talent.

This is search conducted with judgment, not volume.

What Our Clients are Saying

We were delighted with the support we received from Chris in recruiting our CEO. From the outset, Chris took the time to really understand our organisation, our needs and, importantly, the type of leader who would be the right fit for us.
The quality of candidates he presented was excellent, and the whole process was handled with impressive speed, professionalism and discretion. Chris’s judgement throughout was exceptional, and we felt confident that he understood exactly what we were looking for.
Most importantly, Chris helped us secure an outstanding CEO who is a great fit for both the role and the organisation. We couldn’t have been more pleased with both the outcome and the way Chris managed the search.
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to make a significant senior leadership appointment.

- Rob Marr - Co-Owner, T2 Group

I had the pleasure of working with Chris during my move into the Managing Director role at FSG Tool & Die, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
From the outset, Chris stood out from many recruiters I have dealt with previously. He took the time to properly understand both the role and the business, but equally importantly, what I was looking for personally and professionally in my next role. Throughout the process he kept me fully updated, communicated honestly and regularly, and genuinely cared about making sure the opportunity was the right fit for both parties rather than simply filling a position.
What particularly impressed me was the level of support and engagement throughout the entire process. Chris remained in close contact, spent considerable time discussing the role and expectations in detail, and continued to check in even after I had started at FSG, including visiting the factory to ensure I was settling in well.
Chris is professional, personable, and highly committed, and provides a level of service that I’ve rarely seen in recruitment in my experience. I would highly recommend him to both companies and candidates alike.

- Gareth Meese – Managing Director, FSG Tool & Die

Chris recently helped me secure my next role, and I was really impressed throughout the process. His communication was excellent from start to finish, keeping me informed at every stage and always making himself available to answer questions.
He provided great insights into both the role and the organisation, which helped me prepare effectively for each stage of the recruitment process. His advice and guidance gave me confidence and made the whole experience much smoother.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and supportive executive recruitment consultant.

- Mark Dixon – UK and Deputy CFO, CNA Hardy

Chris was the head hunter on the Signable CFO role. A small firm but with big values and a laser focus on delivering a brilliant experience for the business and candidates. Super responsive, always fair and balanced, proactive and offers guidance, honest, and always made time and effort to support. Delivering the best outcome really matters to him and it isn't just another mandate. We still keep in touch because he develops meaningful relationships.

- Warren Newbert – CFO, Signable

Chris understood the brief well, delivered a strong shortlist quickly, and consistently presented high-quality candidates, including two exceptionally strong finalists. We are confident in our chosen candidate, who we believe will make a significant impact as the new CEO of one of our buyout portfolio companies. Chris was responsive, well-organised, and took on much of the heavy lifting for both the portfolio lead and the management team. We would be very happy to work with him again in the future and highly recommend him.

- Christina Tymviou - Talent Lead, YFM Equity Partners

I had the pleasure of working with Chris at CJR during my recent career move, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Chris was diligent and professional throughout the entire process, providing clear guidance, regular updates, and valuable insight at every stage. Thanks to his support, I was able to secure a role which aligns with my experience and career aspirations.
If you’re considering your next move or looking for a trusted recruiter who genuinely cares about matching the right opportunities with the right people, Chris is an excellent choice.

- Paul Bateman - CEO, SOS Leak Detection (YFM Equity Partners)

Chris approached me about an opportunity he was managing for Wattbike and I’m so glad he did. From our very first conversation, he was clear, professional and genuinely supportive throughout the entire recruitment process. He kept me well-informed at every stage, provided helpful insights into the company and role and ensured everything moved smoothly from first interview through to offer. I'm a few months into the role and he has continued to keep in touch, checking in with me to offer support and advice. He’s brilliant and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, either as a candidate or a recruitment partner.

- Marie-Clare Dixon - Ecommerce Director, Wattbike (Piper)

From our first conversation Chris was professional, approachable and supportive. He took time to understood what I was looking for in my next role and ensure that the roles he had were aligned. He was extremely supportive and communicated exceptionally well throughout the whole recruitment process- from registration to application, to interviews to offer, to starting and everything in between! Chris always ensured I was well prepped and supported and obtained and shared feedback for each interaction.
Thanks to Chris, I was able to obtain my latest role at Martin Randall Travel. I am really excited about this opportunity and am truly thankful to Chris for his help. Overall, I highly recommend working with Chris- a great recruiter who genuinely cares, guides and supports throughout the entire process.

- Samantha Clarke - CFO, Martin Randall (Piper)

During a challenging period when senior-level roles were scarce, Chris successfully connected me with my new employers. Although the process took longer than expected due to factors beyond his control, Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout. He skilfully managed the process, maintained a strong relationship with the client, and kept me well-informed at every stage. Additionally, Chris has offered invaluable support and advice since I began my new role. I highly recommend him.

- Rob Thomas - COO, Clubspark (Foresight)
