WELCOME
Expert insight & solutions that help our clients appoint exceptional talent.
Freshwood is a boutique executive search and talent advisory firm.
We work with companies from a range of industry sectors, to deliver board level appointments (main and operating board), and the senior management roles that sit below.
Our clients are privately held, PE backed, listed and family owned.
What sets us apart from the larger firms in our market is our
personal approach. Our partners deliver assignments from inception to completion. Which means our clients and candidates have one point of contact, who brings at least 20 years of experience to the process.
TRACK RECORD
Partners with decades of experience.
We believe in relationships that are based on trust, integrity, expertise and care. The majority of our business comes directly or indirectly from people who've known us for years. The team at Freshwood have collectively been in the executive search and recruitment industry for decades, and I think we've seen it all at some point.

Hiring talent, at any level, is competitive and, at times, stressful, which is why we will always go the extra mile for our clients. It is also why we believe companies benefit from trusting a boutique firm, to look after their most critical hires.
Clients that appoint us can expect quality at every stage, highly attentive partners, a tailored approach, and honest, open feedback.
Our aim is to earn trust quickly, by delivering sound advice, drawn from decades of experience in the market.

We instructed Freshwood on a role that we have historically found difficult to fill. We worked very closely, and they were able to advise us on the best approach and found us the perfect CFO.

I was very impressed with the whole process. I found Freshwood to be knowledgeable, easy to work with and focused on delivery. Would definitely use them again.
Group CFO

Freshwood were creative in their approach, stayed in regular contact and were quite prepared to challenge us when they felt it was necessary. We successfully appointed a CFO, who supported the CEO in an exit process within 12 months.
