We are proud members of Cooperatives UK. Our legal structure reflects our values. We are built for shared accountability, transparent governance and long term alignment.
Clients, consultants and partners are not simply participants in our work. They are stakeholders in how we operate, how we decide and how we share value. This is not an added benefit. It is a defining feature.
Our Model
Leadership is about long term trust. But traditional search models often reward speed and certainty over care and alignment.
We believe that success should be shared. That clients should be partners, not purchasers. That consultants should shape the future of the firm, not just deliver its work. And that fees should follow results.
Our cooperative structure and our performance based fee model are designed to turn these principles into practice.
Shared success, shared purpose
Clients
25% of profits
We allocate 25 percent of our profits to the organisations we work with. This reflects the belief that leadership is a shared investment. Every retained client becomes part of our cooperative and receives a portion of the value we create together.
Impact
25% of profits
A quarter of our profits is reserved for mission aligned reinvestment. This allows us to support projects that reflect our purpose, from leadership development to sector collaboration. It keeps our work grounded in long term contribution.
Consultants
25% of profits, 50% control
Consultants deliver our work and shape how the firm evolves. They hold 50 percent of the voting power and receive 25 percent of profits. This recognises their leadership in both client delivery and cooperative governance.
Partners
25% of profits, 50% control
Partners are responsible for governance and long term direction. They hold 50 percent of the voting power and receive 25 percent of the profit share. Their role is to protect integrity, uphold strategy and steward the cooperative over time.
Built for trust
Our model makes trust concrete. Clients receive a share of profits. Consultants have a voice in governance. Partners are accountable for standards and oversight. This creates transparency, strengthens relationships and encourages leadership decisions based on care and long term fit.
Designed for alignment
We align purpose with process. Our fee structure rewards results, not just delivery. Clients are treated as partners, not purchasers. Every appointment reflects the values and direction of the organisation, not just the immediate requirements of a role.
Structured for resilience
This is a model built for the long term. Consultants shape their work and contribute to how we grow. Clients know their trust is valued and their input matters. Partners take responsibility for culture, consistency and mission over time.
Grounded in participation
We believe that leadership decisions should be shaped by the people they affect. Clients share insight through our advisory panel. Consultants take part in strategy and improvement. Partners lead with input from across the cooperative. Everyone has a role. Everyone has a voice.
