Drew Wilkinson

Head of Professional Services Specialising in Professional Services

Drew has enjoyed 15 years working within and around Financial & Business Services, with a senior-level search career spanning London, Hong Kong, Edinburgh & Newcastle covering Banking, Governance and Practice. Delivering successfully on targeted search assignments for firms ranging from boutique specialised up to global leading Practice firms. With fostering close relationships with both client and candidate Drew prides himself on the match between an executive and an organisation, whilst focusing not only on qualifications and skills but aligning cultural fit and potential to enhance both parties’ aspirations of the process.

"Following early retirement from my chief executive job, my aim was to find a non-executive role, in a values driven organisation which would offer me new learning opportunities and challenges. Scot’s commitment to finding me my ideal role went above and beyond my expectations. He took the time to understand me as an individual and my previous experience to find that perfect role.Amazingly, the non exec role that he matched me with, was not just the right fit for me but (I hope) for the organisation that I joined also. It was the first time that I had been through a non-exec recruitment process and my experience of recruitment consultants had been that they tend to be quite remote. Scot isn’t like that, he really impressed me because he is someone that will always make himself available to you and he makes you feel like he’s looking out for you – thank you Scot!"

We recently worked with NRG on the appointment of our new Chief Executive at the Chamber. This was a challenging appointment as our expectations were high and James Ramsbotham was an exceptional act to follow.

"In line with our continued transformation we asked NRG to help us appoint two Non-Executive Directors to complement our existing Board members, and who would crucially share our Trust values and a passion for continuous improvement.We were keen to identify people likely to engage and inspire our staff, as well as work as part of a strong executive & non executive leadership team. Across two separate projects we asked NRG to explore candidates with experience within senior clinical leadership to drive improvements to the quality of care we deliver to our patients; and ii) within human resources with knowledge of transformational change involving staff across a large organisation.NRG assembled strong shortlists in relation to both roles and helped with a virtual interview and assessment process due to the government restrictions in place at the time. We are pleased to say that the Trust were able to appoint high calibre candidates across both roles."
