About Me

I’m the Founder of EduExec Recruitment, a specialist agency supporting schools and trusts with the recruitment of exceptional senior school support and leadership staff, from experts in School Business Management to HR, Finance, Operations and all other roles inbetween.

I’ve spent over a decade in education recruitment, working closely with senior support staff and school leaders across the UK, and along the way I’ve picked up a CIPD Level 7 qualification. That means I can happily talk policy, contracts and strategy, but I promise not to make dinner parties any duller than they already are.

EduExec Recruitment was born out of a simple idea: to offer a more personalised, transparent and informed recruitment solution, built on trust and genuine sector insight. When I say “sector insight”, I mean it literally as my wife is a School Business Manager, so conversations in our house often swing between budgets, staffing challenges and what’s for dinner. It keeps me grounded in the real issues schools face every day.

At the heart of it all, I genuinely enjoy connecting brilliant people with the right opportunities, and helping schools and trusts find leaders who make a real difference. If I can do that while keeping things straightforward, supportive and maybe even a little enjoyable, then I’m doing my job right.
