Freshwood Group

We offer discreet and expert advice, market insight and guidance when navigating key career decisions.

Experts with a Personal Approach

How We Work With You

Our approach is personal, discreet and long-term. Whether you’re actively considering a move or just curious about the market, we take time to understand your background, ambitions and what matters most to you.

We’ll only introduce roles that make sense, and we’ll always be clear, open and consultative. You’ll have full context before any introductions.

Here For The Long Term

We focus on building genuine, long-term relationships. Because we work on a small number of retained assignments, we’re not driven by volume.

We’re here to offer informed, honest advice when it’s useful. We’re always happy to stay in touch now and then, share a view on the market, and be a sounding board as your thinking develops, whether or not you're actively looking.

Financial Controller

"We instructed Freshwood on a role that we have historically found difficult to fill. We worked very closely with them, developing a full job description and person specification.

They are very knowledgeable and were able to advise us on the best recruitment strategy, to identify the successful candidate. It was not easy search but they found us the perfect candidate!"

Group HR Director - PE Backed Media Group.

"Throughout the search Freshwood invested time to make sure that they understood my requirements, our business and our culture.

They demonstrated their knowledge and experience by presenting a timely shortlist of extremely strong and relevant candidates, from which I was able to select our UK FD."

CFO - Omnichannel Retail.

We successfully appointed a CFO, who supported the CEO in an exit process within 12 months."

Looking for a new role? This is what you can expect from us.

We meet everyone we introduce to our clients. This is usually a video call in the first instance. Allow 45-60 minutes for us to discuss your career to date and your aspirations.

Your CV and personal information remains confidential, until such time as you authorise us to make a submission to our client.

We will share detailed information about our client and the specific opportunity. This may require you to sign a NDA if the search is confidential.

We are not a 9-5 business. We know it's not easy to speak during the day, so we will be as accommodating as possible outside of business hours.

We do our best to share feedback as soon as we have it. But things might not move as fast as we like, so on occasions, we will need to ask for your patience.

If we think your CV would benefit from some tweaks, we will let you know. It's not an exact science but there are some obvious do's and don'ts.

We look forward to meeting you.
