The right leader changes everything.

Retained executive search for boards and leadership teams.

Fenchurch Search hero image
We take on a small number of searches at any one time, giving each the focus it deserves. Every assignment is led by a senior consultant from initial brief through to appointment and beyond. Retained search is a relationship, not a transaction. We invest time at the briefing stage to understand the organisation, the team, and what good looks like before we begin — and we stay closely involved through every stage of the process.

Why Work With Us

Retained and Focused

We work exclusively on a retained basis. Every search receives our full attention from briefing to appointment.

Sector Depth

Our consultants have spent careers in financial and professional services. We understand the organisations we search for and the candidates we place.

Discreet by Design

Senior appointments require confidentiality. We manage every search with the care that boards expect.

We work primarily with financial services and professional services firms across London, on board-level and senior leadership appointments where discretion and precision are essential. Our clients include independent asset managers, wealth management firms, law firms, and listed professional services groups. The roles we are typically asked to fill carry significant responsibility — CFO, MD, Group HR Director, General Counsel — and we approach each one with the rigour and confidentiality that those appointments require. We do not take on work we cannot complete to the standard our clients and candidates expect.
