End of Fiscal Year Review 2023: Embracing Evolution 

As the fiscal year 2023 comes to a close, Goldrick takes pride in reflecting upon its accomplishments, strategic growth, and dedication to delivering exceptional service to clients. Led by Managing Partner Alex Goldrick and Partner & Practice Director Ed Ellis, the firm has continued to thrive, achieving significant milestones and reinforcing its position as a leader in the executive search and advisory industry.

                                                                        Assignment Success Growth

 

One of the key highlights of this year’s performance review is the successful completion of 24 assignments with clients, reaching an impressive 92% completion rate. Goldrick remains committed to delivering outstanding results and exceeding client expectations through its meticulous approach and unwavering dedication.

                                                                           Diversity Appointments 

 

A notable achievement in the area of diversity is the increase in female appointments, with seven such appointments accounting for 29% of total placements. This marks a 4% rise since 2019, demonstrating Goldrick’s continuous efforts to promote inclusivity and gender diversity within the executive search landscape.

                                                                              New Team Members 

 

Adding to the firm’s success story, Goldrick warmly welcomed two exceptional professionals to its team: Sabet van der Westhuizen as Principal and Amy Hewitt as Operations Leader. Sabet brings over 18 years of experience in professional recruitment and leadership search across the UK, Europe, and Asia Pacific markets.
