About

 MEET DOUG - Strategic Talent Consultant for over 28 years, helping SME clients in medtech, healthtech, aerospace, built environment and industrial technology to grow. Through Executive Search and Leadership Consultancy, we partner clients in the UK, Europe and North America. 99% of our clients return, 75% of our annual revenue is from repeat clients with a further 25% coming from their referral to new clients! 97% of our retained recruitment projects were successfully delivered last year.  WHAT WE DO TO HELP COMPANIES - Companies approach me in distress quite often having failed to attract the talent they need to execute their growth strategy. Recruitment and Executive Search has become a complex investment and they don't know how to identify, engage and attract the high calibre leadership or specialist talent their strategy depends upon. Luckily we do!  PROVEN APPROACH - Our Executive Search process is collaborative, relentless, totally transparent and delivered by a team of down to earth and experienced professionals who solve recruitment problems and allow our clients to sleep at night.  PROUD OF THIS - This approach to Executive Search has resulted in 97% of our executive search assignments ending in a successful appointment and 75% of our annual revenue coming from returning clients year in year out. Many of our clients have worked with us for over 10 years.  YOU HAVE NO NEED TO BE FRUSTRATED - There is no excuse for having to endure a poor partnership with a recruiter that costs you a lot of money and results in a disappointing Return on Investment. Achieving a successful appointment is NOT our key objective. It is ensuring that we find outstanding talent for your business that delivers the measurable objectives you set for them.  OUR SERVICES - Executive Search, Headhunting, Leadership Development, Executive Coaching, Board Effectiveness, Building High Performing Teams  LET'S TALK To enjoy the same results as our clients; 1.
