Over the last 25 years, we’ve built a reputation of trust and excellence by connecting exceptional leaders with defining opportunities. Our work relies on a foundation of principles – words that guide every conversation, every search, and every engagement. These 25 words are important to us. They’ve shaped the last quarter-century of our journey and will continue to define us for the next 25 years and beyond.

Organisations that shape a better future are defined by social purpose. They are the engines that improve communities, safeguard the environment, and advance social causes. Our Charity Practice, led by Sandy Hinks, connects exceptional leaders with opportunities to make a real difference. As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, we’re exploring the role top-tier leaders play in driving a charity’s mission.

The C-suite sets the ambitious vision, charting the company's long-term course, but specialist talent is the engine room that translates strategy into success. Mid to senior-level managers, engineers, and technical professionals form a business’s operational core, making daily decisions that impact profitability, efficiency, and customer experience. This is why we dedicated an entire practice to these key roles – our Management, Engineering and Technical (MET) Practice. 

Leadership consulting diagnoses weaknesses, unlocks potential, and ensures your leadership framework can handle future challenges. It enables your business to thrive in change, rather than simply survive it.

Attracting top-tier C-suite talent is often the difference in driving growth. Executive leaders are the drivers of change, the architects of strategy, and the makers of company-defining decisions. The key question is, how do you find them?

On Fri 21st November, Moon Executive Search's Head of Management, Engineering & Technical Practice, Gemma Wilks, hosted a line-up of leading experts for a straightforward look at cyber and boardroom risks and responsibilities.

We joined forces with Ashfords last week at the techSPARK Bristol Technology Festival to host a workshop titled, Staying ahead: risk, compliance and boardroom responsibility for Non Execs. The session offered attendees a roadmap for navigating the complexities of governance in today’s fast-evolving business landscape.

The UK's infrastructure, energy and engineering sectors are poised for unprecedented growth, fuelled by a £725 billion government investment and the ambitious journey to net-zero. But this blueprint for the future is at risk from a significant talent crunch. A shortage of skilled professionals, from civil engineers to project managers and specialised tradespeople, is a major bottleneck. Forward-thinking leaders are actively addressing this crisis.

Simon Quinn,  Director of Moon Leadership Consultancy, explores why being an effective CEO is about more than just about the bottom line and highlights some key lessons for all new CEOs.

Offering industry and sector knowledge and underpinning an approach on sound governance principles will create a good functioning board, but behaviours seem to really separate those Boards from a truly high-performing board.

In 25 years of Moon Executive Search, we've witnessed transformations in how leaders conduct operations, recruit top talent and fuel success. From the rise of remote work and the accelerating pace of technological advancements (including AI) to a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, the business landscape is constantly changing.

So, what do Exec Search leaders think the biggest change has been? 

The right Chair is more than a facilitator – they're the catalyst for focused, effective decision-making that drives success. In the last six months we’ve place 15 outstanding Chair candidates! These individuals bring strategic vision, governance expertise, and sector specific knowledge.

The tectonic plates of the technology landscape are shifting, and with them, the very fabric of tech hiring. In 2025, a new set of priorities and demands is reshaping how organisations find, attract, and retain top talent. At Moon's MET (Management, Engineering and Technical) Practice, we're on the front lines of these changes.

The right leader can be the difference between stagnation and groundbreaking success. But how do you consistently identify individuals who can drive growth, foster positive change, and align with your unique vision?
