Building purposeful powerful leadership teams

Who we are

We are an independent search and advisory firm. We advise commercial, public and third sector clients on a complementary suite of board, executive search, talent insight, strategic communications and leadership capability solutions. Our partners have maintained a position at the top of their profession for over 20 years, advising commercial, government and third sector clients.

What we do

Miles Advisory support clients to find and acquire the right leaders for our changing world. Our Partners are recognised and long standing industry experts with deep functional and sector knowledge.

The right leaders may often come from less predictable or traditional backgrounds. We know diversity is critical to the leadership capability and maturity in any organisation, and our track record shows we consistently outperform the market norms in creating diverse shortlists and have an exceptional history of placing diverse candidates into role. We offer Executive Search along with a range of complementary solutions to find the talent to create more diverse, attuned and progressive organisations.

We then support these  ambitious leaders with communications, capability and culture solutions to create highly aligned and engaged organisations.

We bring innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit

Firms like ourselves are shaking up the global search and talent advisory industry as clients increasingly seek to access big brand expertise without the big brand overhead or bureaucracy. We believe our agile, streamlined, integrated team approach is more efficient as:

Knowledgeable

Our Partners are able to share knowledge and ideas more effectively and are motivated to collaborate to deliver a quality outcome

Agile

We are superbly agile and can adapt quickly to respond to changes in context or environment

Flexible

We are flexible and focused on offering each client a tailored search solution bespoke to their needs

Collaborative

Our clients have access to more than one Partner to bring relevant additional insights and perspectives

Insightful

Our researchers think laterally, cross disciplines and create provably more inclusive and innovative shortlists

Efficient

We coordinate and launch far more quickly on international and domestic searches as we have no intra office sign-off, politics or bureaucracy

We go beyond search

Our People and Culture practice supports leaders to build powerful connections between their organisation purpose and their people. This results in increased levels of employee advocacy, engagement and so organisational performance.

Breast Cancer Research Action Group

As a close knit firm, and with a couple of colleagues having been through diagnosis and treatment for Breast Cancer in the last couple of years, we have a deep appreciation for the important work of Breast Cancer Charities

We are delighted to be working with Leeds Hospitals Charity – Breast Cancer Action Group, our designated charity this year. This Group was formed in 1994 by ex-breast cancer patients and their supporters to fund breast cancer research and supply equipment. Since its inception, the group has raised enough funds for a new breast unit at St James’s Hospital, dedicated research fellows and equipment, where one of our colleagues received treatment

Watch this space over the next year. We will be challenging ourselves to raise money for the charity – and having some fun along the way! Any support you can give is very much appreciated
