Our Team

We have a wealth of experience in the executive search and recruitment industry. 


We are natural relationship builders, inquisitive, creative, committed and don't take ourselves too seriously. 


The partners deliver searches from start to finish, so you have one highly attentive and experienced, point of contact throughout.

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. 


Our extensive networks and rigorous assessment approach, ensures you meet candidates who bring both proven success and future-ready leadership capabilities.




While we're proud of all of these achievements, we are particularly grateful to the clients, who trust us to act for them on multiple occasions.

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.

Chief People Officer

PE Backed Media Group

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

Travel PLC

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.
