Cornforth Consulting

Cornforth Consulting is an independent, privately owned specialist search boutique headquartered in London, focusing on executive and non-executive recruitment across investment trusts, asset management and wealth management sectors. The firm specialises in finding Chairmen, Non Executive Directors and Board Advisors across all sectors, whilst also making business-critical hires for asset management and private wealth management firms. Cornforth recruits board directors and senior executives across all asset classes, with particular expertise in distribution, operations and general management roles.

The company's core specialisation spans investment trusts, asset and wealth management, and board-level appointments. Cornforth has developed deep expertise in identifying candidates for senior positions within these sectors, having helped clients hire hundreds of executives and non-executives. The firm's approach centres on understanding the specific needs of asset management and private wealth management organisations, ensuring placements align with both client requirements and candidate capabilities.

Cornforth Consulting operates from its London headquarters and serves clients across the United Kingdom. The firm has built its reputation on a foundation of honesty, loyalty and discretion, working closely with many clients who maintain long-standing relationships with the business. The company's philosophy is that business success is driven by the right combination of talented people suited to their roles, and this principle guides every placement decision. Cornforth's specialist boutique model allows the firm to service client interests more effectively than larger generalist recruiters, with a focus on finding candidates whose blend of skills, style, values and career ambitions will enable them to thrive within client organisations.
