Retained
Committed, exclusive assignments
A search practice, run discreetly.
ACR Executive Search is led by Managing Director Andrew Fowler and appoints senior leaders across the construction and development market, Director through to Managing Director, Board and CEO.
Senior appointments are not a volume exercise. They are decided by a small number of conversations with people who are rarely looking, and they are usually confidential on both sides.
Areas of expertise
Leadership mandates across construction, development and house building, handled discreetly from brief to appointment.
Board Appointments
Chair, Non-Executive and Board-level appointments for owner-managed and investor-backed businesses.
Chief Executive & MD
Chief Executive and Managing Director appointments with full P&L accountability.
Director Level
Construction, Commercial, Technical, Land and Operations Director appointments.
Retained Search
Exclusive, committed assignments run to an agreed timetable and reported in writing.
Confidential Search
Discreet replacement of an incumbent, or entry into a new region, handled without exposure.
Market Mapping & Succession
Structured mapping of the leadership market to support succession planning and long-range hiring.
Selected appointments
Four stages, whichever side of the table you are on.
The depth of each stage changes with the appointment. The sequence never does.
- 01
Mandate
Time with the shareholders, board or hiring principal to agree the remit, the profile and how success will be measured.
- 02
Mapping
A structured map of the relevant market, shared with you, so the decision is made on evidence rather than availability.
- 03
Approach
Discreet, personal approaches to identified individuals, with your identity protected until it is appropriate to disclose.
- 04
Appointment
Assessment, written reporting, offer negotiation and continued contact through the individual's first year.
People you can actually speak to
Every consultant owns a defined market, so the person answering the phone already knows who is hiring and what the rate should be.
What clients and candidates say
The process was handled discreetly from start to finish. We were given a proper view of the market rather than whoever happened to be available, and the appointment has worked.
I was not actively looking. The conversation was measured, confidential and genuinely useful, and it led to the right role at the right time.
Discuss a confidential appointment
A short conversation is usually enough for us to tell you honestly whether we can help.
