WealthBriefing has learnt that a new executive search business, Redgrave Partners LLP, is being launched on 21 May. The business was initiated in January following the buyout of Imprint Search and Woodhamill. According to the firm, it already has a pipeline of assignments with a number of wealth and asset managers, investment banks and FTSE 100 corporates. The firm, founded by chairman Brian Hamill, along with partners James Howells, Somerled Macdonald and Paul Fox is based on London’s Fleet Street, and is currently 50 people strong. Somerled Macdonald, who heads up the financial services practice, said: “the partnership ethos here at Redgrave is something we’re all really proud of - our combined experience makes for some interesting ideas being generated and everyone’s encouraged to get involved. It’s a wonderfully refreshing mindset and it undoubtedly gets great results”. The wealth management executive search arena remains busy. For example, as WealthBriefing recently reported, high-profile UK-based wealth management head hunter Harry Pilkington has resigned from Armstrong International. Mr Pilkington is believed to be joining international head hunter Heidrick & Struggles to strengthen its wealth management offering in its London office.
