Non-Executive Search

Rigorous and relational searches building depth and breadth at board level.

The right non-executive leadership is crucial to growing the health and impact of any organisation. Chair, trustee and board member appointments require a depth of attention, and yet so many boards are time poor. We can help.

Chair Searches

The Chair will dictate the future health and success of an organisation more than any other role, including the CEO. It is the Chair who builds the vital relationship with the executive, who stewards the governance and culture of an organisation.


Trustees and NED Searches

The best boards have a breadth and depth of both skill and perspective and are clearly united behind the mission. Uncovering the best people for the board will transform the effectiveness of any organisation.


Trustee Watch

We have developed a less intensive and accessibly-priced model designed for smaller organisations which allows boards access to a small pool of trustee candidates over the course of six or twelve months.

Our Clients

We partner with organisations from across different sectors, but what our clients have in common is their mission-minded nature. The exact requirements of each search are always unique.
