The right leader. No shortcuts.
We focus exclusively on technology leadership — the people who build, run, and deliver modern technology. We've done nothing else for over a decade.
Leadership Search
Retained search for senior permanent appointments. We work across the full technology leadership structure — from CTO and IT Director to Engineering, Architecture, Platform, Security, and Delivery leadership — with particular depth in PE-backed and mid-market businesses. Northern England is our home ground; searches extend nationally and internationally when needed.
Interim Leadership
When the situation is urgent and the quality of hire still matters, we place experienced technology leaders into interim roles within days. Capability based on years of work in the interim market.
Embedded Search Partnership
A dedicated search professional working inside your team for three to twelve months. The right model for scale-ups, PE transitions, and periods of sustained leadership hiring.
Research & Talent Intelligence
Most firms map the market at the point of hire. We've been building that picture for years. Our intelligence on technology leadership across Northern England — who's performing, who's ready to move, and when — is the product of consistent, focused presence in one specialism. When we build your talent pipeline or benchmark report, you get real insight, not a LinkedIn scrape.
