By stageWhere you are
Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Senior leadership for Merseyside's port, logistics, manufacturing, life sciences and creative firms: chosen by search and working inside the business for only the time the work needs.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
You bring in one leader and the collective sits behind them. We keep support and governance around the engagement so it does not drift. The executive makes the calls in their area and owns the result, which is the difference between this and advice.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader works alongside your people and answers for what happens. In a family firm or a business with a long-serving team, they are also the outside voice that is free to say what others will not.
Depth behind one leaderLiverpool firms draw on a collective of 800+ across finance, operations, technology and people, searched against their own brief. For a city region of this size, that reach does a lot of the work.

Where we are brought in
A leader for the moment in front of you
Most engagements begin with a moment: a departure to cover, a raise to close, a market to enter, a business to turn around. Find the one that fits.

The Liverpool commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You get a senior leader for the days the work needs and no new salary on the payroll. The agreement is between your company and the executive's own company, the search carries no recruitment fee, and one month's notice is our standard. With the rules on senior UK hires getting tighter, that flexibility counts.
Brief a search01
No permanent headcount
The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.
02
No benefits burden
No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.
03
No recruitment cost
No search fees and no onboarding lag. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
04
One month's notice
Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.
05
Business to business
A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.
