Inspire engagement and maximise productivity

Green Park's board practice advises at the most senior levels of corporate and organisational governance, in the UK and across international markets.

We are retained by listed companies, banks and financial institutions, private equity houses and their portfolio companies, and sovereign wealth funds, as well as by government bodies, public services and the largest charities and leading civil society organisations, to appoint the leaders who set direction and hold management to account.

Non-executive recruitment is central to what we do: around 200 of our assignments each year are board roles, and we have worked with many of the largest organisations and best-known brands in the UK to help them build boards that are skilled, effective, diverse custodians of capital, heritage and purpose  — and critically help the organisation be greater than the sum of their parts.

Highly experienced global team

Our global team is highly experienced in appointing Chairs, Senior Independent Directors and Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairs of Audit and Risk, Remuneration, Nomination, Finance and Endowment Committees, alongside Executive Directors who sit on the board and the trustees who govern non-profit organisations.

The expertise most often sought at the board level includes finance, investment, digital, cyber, government and regulatory connectivity, and audit and risk. Every organisation is different, however, and the skills a board needs vary with its strategy and circumstances. At the heart of effective board work are the abilities to bring both challenge and support, to act as a critical friend, to scan the horizon, to shape strategy, to uphold culture, and to hold an organisation to account against its core purpose.

Value & Opportunity

Many of the leaders we work with build portfolios spanning several sectors, using their skills and stretching their capacity in stimulating and rewarding ways. Those who have built their careers in the commercial world often value the opportunity to contribute what they have learned in a different context.

In the non-profit sector, the majority of roles are unremunerated, though some are not, and these appointments frequently call for more than professional expertise: a genuine passion for a cause or an organisation, personal experience that connects to its purpose, and a breadth of experience across different scales and contexts that deepens the contribution a person can make.

Testimonials

"Green Park's proposal had diversity at the heart, rather than just an add on - and this gave us confidence that in working with them we would be partnering with an organisation who held the same values as our own in this area."

Claire Burles

Group People Director | Stage Coach

“Working with Green Park made this important and potentially challenging appointment process smooth and easy to navigate. The recruitment professionals that they assigned to the project communicated consistently and articulately with the variety of different stakeholders involved in the process; they were sensitive but did not steer away from being honest about the difficult realities involved in this recruitment campaign which resulted in expectations being expertly managed and trust being embedded. I would highly recommend Green Park for senior executive search campaigns, especially in the culture and creative industry.”

Charlotte Cowan

Head of People & Culture | Shakespeare's Globe

"Raj and his team are genuinely looking to drive change - and they really seem to care.  Green Park has placed me on two interim assignments so far, both of which have been right up my alley.  It's been a genuine pleasure doing business with them!"

Sam Phillips

CEO & Founder | Representnation

From start to finish, Juliet Hardingham and the Executive Search Team at Green Park were exceptional. Juliet took the time to understand the role and our organisation, delivering a strong, diverse shortlist for our Head of Government Relations and External Affairs. Her professionalism, insights, and clear communication confirmed we had chosen the right partner.

James Greenhill

Head of Global Executive Resourcing @Jacobs

"Working with Green Park has always been a pleasure. When working on assignment with Green Park, the communications were excellent and every effort was made to ensure everything went well, with regular communication throughout. Care is taken to ensure a good match is made between interims and the clients."
