Why Robert Cavendish
Advisers to the regulated sector.
01
Sector specialism, 16 years deep
C-suite mandates exclusively in FCA and PRA-authorised firms. We speak SM&CR, SMF and s166 fluently because our clients expect it.
02
Structure first, appointment second
We advise on the right structure before the appointment. If a permanent hire is not the right answer, we will say so.
03
Retained rigour, run personally
Permanent searches led end to end by our founder. No handoffs, and no long-lists standing in for judgement.
04
Speed when it matters
Interim and fractional leaders deployed in days, not months, from a bench we maintain and know personally.
05
Accountability and compliance built in
SM&CR obligations addressed on every mandate, with an IR35-compliant SoW on every fractional and interim engagement.
Social Proof
“Nick did not send us a longlist. He sent us three people, all of whom we would have hired. That kind of precision only comes from someone who genuinely understands the sector.”
