Board / Leadership

Finding candidates with the right skills to join your Board or Leadership team is our speciality.

Having the right Board / Leadership team at the helm of your business is crucial to its effective management and long-term success; efficacy of the top of the organisation determines the success and cohesion of each subsequent component part through effective management and communication of strategy, values and vision.

Not only must the CEO, non-executive and executive functions comprise professionals of the highest calibre, they must also comprise a nuanced set of skills and personalities to suit your organisation and its specific needs.

Understanding your organisation and its objectives wholly, allows us to imbed leadership teams with the right vision, tenacity, skills and personality needed to steer your organisation in the optimal direction, driving business performance while upholding its unique values.

What our clients say

Working with Richard on ‘hard to fill’ and critical roles has always been a joy. It’s often about more than the spec itself and his sector knowledge, willingness to challenge thinking and ability to stay close to his client even when the going gets tough has always proven welcome and valuable. This is about commitment to the client and style and I have always found Richard approachable, engaging and easy to do business with. So have candidates, something which is critical in ensuring early positive engagement on sometimes fraught and hugely demanding projects.

Group HRD – and Client

Richard has an excellent understanding of client requirements, he is someone who can be trusted to deliver in a professional, approachable and friendly manner. He also delivers which is key in this type of role.

CEO – Client

Richard has provided a quality service to me over the last five years. What sets him apart is his speed of response in collating a shortlist of candidates. This ability comes from his extensive market knowledge, and his own personal tenacity and drive to get the right results for his clients. His amenable and flexible approach makes him very easy to work with.

MD and Client

I’ve known Robert for many years and have in that time both recruited through him and also taken advice and support from him as an interim exec consultant. In whatever capacity it has been Robert has in-depth and relevant knowledge of his sectors, he does have a dynamic & direct approach to action but mainly he is passionate and driven in what he does. Simply put, I trust Robert to do what he’s says he’s going to do, to have balanced objectives and to have the best interest for all parties at the heart of what he does. I wish Robert all the very best with The Whitestone Partnership and I know I will be doing business with him in the future.

Interim Programme Director and Client

I really like the way Rob works, communicates well, and gives a clear view of opportunities. When working with him I’ve found that he walks the client/interim line very well. I have also found Rob to be very supportive and tenacious on my behalf. One of the good guys!
