Work with us →For twenty-five years, Thatcher Associates has been trusted to find the people other firms can't. That trust is the whole business.
We began in specialist recruitment and have grown into a consultancy that places people across many fields, from healthcare and education to construction and the boardroom, for organisations with real ambition. The thread isn't a sector. It's our reputation, our relationships, and the care we take.
Our directors and partners run searches personally. No hand-offs, no junior account managers, the people you meet are the people who do the work. It's a deliberately boutique model, with the reach of a global network behind it.
John, James, Fiona, Emma, Tom and Kieran each actively run a desk, no figureheads, every one of us places. Click any name to meet them. The network grows as new specialists join and bring their own.
Led by people, not boxed in by sectors.
We don't have departments, we have specialist desks, each run by a consultant who lives and breathes one field and one market. These are the desks we run today; the network keeps growing.

Where we began, where we're rooted, and where we're growing.
Thatcher Associates has changed shape more than once. What hasn't changed is the craft: finding the right person, done with conviction. How we do it has grown with the business.
Where we began
Conventional, office-based recruitment. A team in one place, building relationships the traditional way. It taught us the craft everything since is built on.
Where we're rooted
In relationships and reach. A growing network of specialist consultants, each deep in their own market, delivering for clients who need the right person, not the nearest one.
Where we're growing
Through our specialists. As new experts join the network, we cover more fields and more markets, always led by someone who lives and breathes the work.
“They understood our culture in a way no other firm bothered to. The shortlist was right, we hired within weeks.”
