Meet the Consultant

Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We drive results by working together – with each other and with our clients – as one unified team.

Empowerment

We’re a business of leaders. Every member of our team has the space to identify opportunities for ourselves and our clients, make them happen, be accountable, and lead in their own area of expertise.

Kindness

We make it a priority to treat everyone in our ecosystem as we’d like to be treated ourselves, and to help others outside of our immediate circle where we can, through charity, non profit, and DEI initiatives.

Integrity

Our candidates and clients can trust that we will remain ethical, honest, and transparent in everything we do. From accurately reporting ESG initiatives as a certified B Corp, to prioritising open and honest client conversations during the hiring process, we prioritise integrity.

Ambition

As a team, we consistently push to do better. We want to be the best consultancy in our chosen market, to get the very best possible results for our clients, our candidates, and our team members.

Not only do we strive to improve our own business and processes, we are also working to improve the industries in which we recruit. In the last few years, we’ve focused on diversity initiatives, striving for greater representation at all levels and across all industries. We believe diverse workforces make better workplaces and create better thinking. For us diversity comes in many ways and not just what you see. Therefore, we have partnered with many different social action campaigns and diverse groups so we can have greater thinking and breath of connections.
Our Founder, Alice Weightman, is an honorary member of Global Women in PR, Ambassador to the Ideas Foundation and member of the Disability Confident Campaign.

We recently launched our own Diversity Board to challenge our thinking and that of our clients. Our commitment to the industry is that all long lists and searches will include both genders and BAME candidates.
