Berwick Partners, a division of Odgers Berndtson, operates in the senior leadership recruitment market. We operate a 100% retained search model within the £70,000-£120,000 basic salary bracket and believe we stand out in a congested market by offering a quality and client-led service.

We are experts in senior recruitment; we understand the markets in which we work, yet we are never complacent about the importance of listening and learning. At times we need to advise and at times we need to challenge; we always need to deliver.

We are a national firm with offices in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. We collaborate and work closely with Odgers Berndtson, benefiting from their brand, reputation and work. We share a database, offices, events and away-days. This relationship means that for business development purposes, we are not a cold call environment.

Berwick Partners has built an excellent reputation for filling senior management and executive positions across a number of different sectors. We have split our market into three main areas: Commerce & Industry, Public Sector and Functions

We believe that this structure offers clients the opportunity to tap into sector specialists and functional experts as the mandate dictates. We are passionate about what we do. We understand how important it is to deliver the right outcomes for clients and candidates and we take pride in the quality of our work.
