We work in one sector.
We do nothing else.
The best leaders inspire through human connection and we're no different. We believe that your future leaders want the best experience in a selection process.
Who We Are
Two partners.
One sector.
No distractions.
Consumer Search was founded by Rich and Adam - two search partners who have spent their careers inside the Consumer space. Between them, they bring deep knowledge of the sector and long-standing relationships with the people who lead it.
Every client engagement is handled at Partner level. There are no handoffs, no junior-led searches, and no dilution of focus.
When you work with Consumer Search,
you work with us.

Market Mapping
Active and passive. Visible and overlooked. Assessed with genuine sector knowledge, not keyword searches.
Candidate Engagement
We approach senior candidates with insights that engage. Our value-led approach earns honest conversations - about ambitions, about fit, and about what it would take.
Shortlist & Assessment
We present a curated shortlist with a candid view - strengths, development areas, and the conditions under which they will perform.
