About Hennessey Search

Close enough to understand. Connected enough to deliver.

Hennessey is an independent, partner-led executive and specialist search firm supporting SMEs, growth businesses, boards and investors through consequential leadership decisions.

Who we are

Leadership decisions deserve more than a database.

Before we search, we listen. Every mandate begins with the business context: strategy, ownership, performance, culture, pace and the value at stake. We combine direct senior accountability, disciplined market research and an extensive consultant network.

Hennessey works through experienced executive-search consultants, leadership assessors, sector advisers and operators. The model provides relevant expertise around each mandate without pretending to be a large permanent workforce.

Where the need extends beyond an appointment, Hennessey Search can connect clients with the wider advisory capability of Hennessey Advisory Group.
