London Executive Search Recruiters

Oryx provides executive search in London and across the South East, a market defined less by any single industry than by the concentration of decision-making inside it. The capital holds the head offices of the UK's contracting groups, developers and consumer businesses, the investment and asset management houses behind much of the country's infrastructure and real estate, and the private equity firms whose portfolio companies sit out in the regions. Our clients in and around the city include Balfour Beatty, Tilbury Douglas, Bureau Veritas, Currie & Brown, Urbanest, Coats, Ultra Electronics and London Biggin Hill Airport, a spread that runs from main contracting and cost consultancy through student accommodation and industrial manufacture to business aviation. Around the capital the South East adds Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted and the aviation services economy they support, the Thames Valley technology corridor, the capital programmes running through the water, rail and energy networks, and one of Europe's deepest pipelines of build to rent and logistics development.

Clients we work with in London

Barchester

Barchester healthcare is one of the largest independent care providers in the UK, supporting over 12,000 people in 250 care homes and seven registered hospitals across the country. Strategically they were looking to make the most of IT and technology advancements to provide better outcomes for customers and for staff. They asked Oryx to conduct a search to find a new Group Director of IT. A complete search of all associated sectors resulted in the successful person joining in September 2022.

Superior Healthcare Group

Superior is a privately owned provider of specialist complex clinical care in the home. As the business went through several stages of growth, it became clear that they needed to make some strategic appointments to strengthen the depth and experience of the leadership team. Working with the owners, Oryx successfully recruited a Head of Finance and a Head of HR. Both appointments have made a significant impact on the business.

Balfour Beatty

As one of the UK’s leading construction companies, and a constituent of the FTSE 250, Balfour Beatty is committed to attracting the best possible talent from right across the construction sector. Oryx has successfully handled numerous projects across various parts of the Group, from a Project Director to deliver a pioneering waste-to-energy plant in a complex JV relationship, through to commercial and operational leadership roles for the Highways business.
