We are a team of highly skilled Recruiters and Merger & Acquisition professionals based in a country house in the beautiful Somerset countryside.

Our clients know the only way to succeed in a competitive market, is to have high expectations when hiring, and our aim is to always exceed those expectations, by presenting a short list of candidates who can really add value to the business.

Our consultants are supported by a dedicated research team, ensuring that we consistently generate the highest quality candidates, many of whom are not actively on the market.

As a Financial Services specialist Head Hunter we can ensure a greater understanding of industry trends, the effect of new legislation and, most of all, how they impact on the people employed in the industry. 

Our extensive experience ensures we understand the challenges facing employers in seeking and recruiting top quality financial services professionals.
