Chris joins us at truly exciting time as we try to deepen our sector focus and specialist knowledge in key areas. Chris brings some fantastic experience to the table in areas that we feel require a true specialism and focus. We have seen that our clients are increasingly expecting their search consultants to not just understand their business, culture and strategy but that they also need to be genuine experts within their market.

This is a huge opportunity for Fides Search as we naturally gravitate towards consultants with sector and practice specialisms. Chris brings huge energy and determination to his work and the Fides Search team and we very much look forward to working with him.

I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Fides Search, who match my ambition and share the same values of offering a first class service to clients, whilst maintaining integrity and quality, in a consultative manner. The international capabilities of Fides was also a massive draw for me and I am very excited to help build on the excellent platform Fides Search currently has across Europe and beyond.
