Our Executive Assistant and Business Support recruitment covers permanent and contract appointments for Executive Assistants, Business Assistants, Private PAs, Team Assistants, Office Managers and senior administrative staff. We support clients who need reliable, commercially aware people who can manage diaries, inboxes, travel, meetings, events, projects and confidential information.

Searches are handled with a boutique approach: careful briefing, targeted outreach, considered shortlists and close communication with both client and candidate.
