Keythorpe Partners

Keythorpe Partners is a founder-led retained search and human capital advisory firm established in July 2020, dedicated to helping real estate investors and operators build high-performing teams in volatile and rapidly evolving markets. The company delivers specialist recruitment solutions where execution speed, judgement, and cultural fit directly impact returns. With a consultative approach anchored in market-calibrated research and disciplined execution, Keythorpe Partners combines retained and exclusive search mandates with real-time market intelligence and a relationship-first methodology. The firm provides solutions across the full real estate investment and operations value chain, from senior leadership to junior professionals, with founder-led delivery from assignment origination through to candidate onboarding.

Keythorpe Partners specialises in real estate financial services, with deep sector focus and a 15-year track record of delivering high-profile assignments. The company covers three core function clusters: Investing and Origination, including senior and emerging talent in equity and debt investment, special situations, and capital markets across European markets; Asset and Portfolio Management, encompassing investment and operational talent in asset management, portfolio management, loan servicing, NPL, restructuring, and workout situations; and Platform and Firm-Building, providing leadership, enabling, and technical functions for growing investment platforms including investor relations, fundraising, corporate development, and M&A. Beyond core retained search, Keythorpe Partners offers complementary advisory services including interim consultancy, deal and capital introductions, team moves, remuneration and benchmarking, performance and behavioural assessment, and non-executive introductions.

Operating with a globalised mindset at a localised level, Keythorpe Partners maintains UK and European execution capability with access to international talent pools via deep networks. The company has achieved 75 per cent placements with repeat clients, reflecting high levels of trust and engagement, alongside 50-plus successful placements across the UK and EU. Founded by Freddie Moore, who previously held senior positions with established global real estate recruitment businesses including Redpath Partners and Macdonald and Company in London, the firm is known for high-trust relationships, progressive delivery, and an advisory approach that pairs clients and candidates with the facts needed to make informed decisions.
