6th January 2020

It is with great pleasure that Wild Search can announce the appointment of Richard Burge as Chief Executive of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Richard’s appointment comes at a critical time as the UK prepares to exit the European Union and adapt trading relations with the continent. Bringing with him a breadth of international expertise, having previously fulfilled roles at the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council and Wilton Park, Richard will undoubtedly be a great asset as the LCCI navigates the BREXIT transition period.

We wish him every success in the role.

Education Investor 2019 Awards - Wild Search a finalist in two categories.

5th October 2019

Wild Search has been shortlisted for two awards at the annual Education Investor Awards, which will be announced on 4th December in central London. Wild Search’s executive search track record has been recognised within the Suppliers to the Education sector category and our work on promoting the value and contribution of high quality education as a British export has been acknowledged in the Exporting Excellence category. Our latest report, entitled Exporting Excellence, celebrates the success of British schools which have established overseas campuses and was launched in September and was sponsored by AQA and Alpha Plus Group.

 Commenting on the news, Wild Search Managing Director Edward Wild said:

“These nominations demonstrate the breadth, range of quality of the work we do for our clients within the education sector, especially the investor supported schools and colleges. After almost a decade working at a senior level, we continue to engage new clients and undertake new projects for established clients.

This year, our reports have been especially popular and well received, focussing on the benefits and opportunities of schools groups, British schools abroad and the research, with Keystone Tutors, into how parents overseas choose British schools for their children.”
