I run the commerce & industry and third sector divisions in the UK. This includes generalist HR, talent acquisitions, talent/learning & leadership in a diverse range of sectors. I am fully involved in delivering executive search and senior appointments in the UK and have supported PE/VC owned organisations including post and pre-transaction, PLC’s and business start-ups, typically with Director level appointments. I remain an active member of our growing third sector practise particularly around facilitating and coaching private sector talent.
Since 2007, I have supported a large range of organisations, which includes partnering with a leading oil & gas firm to build out their newly located HR function. I have also partnered with a major pharmaceutical business to appoint a number of key roles within their Global COE for learning & leadership and facilitated the appointment of Group HR Directors for mid-size UK and global commerce businesses. My focus is primarily around building talent pools at a mid to senior level and building trusted relationships and partnerships with individuals throughout their career. Having worked on global search as well as UK based searches I am well versed in what good HR looks like and have moved people internationally as well as repatriated talent.
My versatility during my recruitment career has given me insight into senior interim management, retained search and key account management. I tailor my solutions to meet the needs of my clients and leverage the breadth of our global network to find my clients the best fit for their organisation. I pride myself on quality of service and value long-term, collaborative relationships.

Nick have been a tremendous help in the search for my next HR role. Nick maintained brilliant contact throughout my various interviews and was able to give me in-depth information about the clients so I could be confident that I was going for the right roles. Nick helped me to secure my ideal role in an industry I've always wanted to work in and so I have nothing but positive feedback for Nick. I look forward to continue working with them now as a client and I cannot recommend Nick highly enough. Thanks Nick!

Nick is a very rare breed of recruiter, he takes the time to get to know his candidates as well as he knows his clients. He managed to find me the perfect role which suits both my professional interests and my personality and always takes the time to keep in touch and see how my interim assignment is progressing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick.

John Chirichella
Global Talent Acquisition
Nicholas was a tremendous resource for my company. He was able to identify and help close on a sr level technical recruiter (who was motivated) for my UK consulting practice. Nick's services will be a great fit for almost any of your companies needs in staffing. His ability to listen and become a true business partner was extraordinary.
