Professor Louise Jackson, Principal of ArtEd said of our work:

“We were delighted with the service provided by Wild Search - from the understanding of our somewhat unique position in the sector and the scope for the search (and responding when this expanded during the search), to the needs of the Board, and how the team communicated with us. It felt much more like a partnership, and I look forward to working with them in the future.”

Sarum College Principal Appointed

Wild Search was delighted to advise the Chair and trustees of Sarum College, on the Church of England’s leading theological education institutions (TEIs) on the appointment of its new Principal. We wish the Revered Dr Rob James all success as he prepares to move from Vancouver to Salisbury to take up the post this summer. The search was led by Edward Wild who welcomed the appointment:

“This is a challenging time for the TEI sector and we worked tenaciously to provide the trustees of Sarum College with a strong field from which to make the appointment. Rob’s combination of academic and pastoral experience aligned well with the traditions of Sarum College and its vision for the future.”
