Choose Us For Your Next Executive Search.
Senior hires fail commercially when culture fit and values alignment are treated as afterthoughts. We immerse in your business stage, ownership structure, and strategic plan before approaching candidates. We screen for sector experience, board-level capability, and the specific leadership style your business needs at this point in its growth, whether that's turnaround, scale-up, or stabilisation. We brief you on candidate motivations, counter-offer probability, and realistic offer structures including LTIPs, equity participation, and notice-period buy-outs. Our guide to building resilience into your business explores the leadership traits we screen for, and our fractional finance director breakdown covers the alternative leadership models worth considering.
For city-specific senior hires, we run targeted search campaigns including roles such as finance directors in Leeds and interim finance directors for businesses facing change or leadership gaps.
For employers across Yorkshire and the North, Sewell Wallis is the trusted partner in regional executive search. Brief us on your role and we'll get to work.
