Executive Search Consultant

About us

Loftus Bradford is a global retained executive search firm recruiting for some of the world’s biggest brands at Global 500 companies. We work very closely with a select number of clients on a succession planning basis and recruit their high potential candidates across different industries and functions from manager through director to executive levels. Over 70% of our searches are based outside Western Europe.

Our philosophy is to work with the talents and brands that are shaping the 21stcentury. We want to pick the winner in each sector, the company that will have the most exciting growth, and then work with only that company, and not their competitors.
