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.

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.

On 20th October 2025, Moon Executive Search, in collaboration with partners VWV Law Firm and Narrow Quay HR, successfully hosted the third event in the NED Leadership Lab series.

As we celebrate our anniversary, we're proud to see how far that mission has taken us! This map shows a snapshot of the locations where we've placed exceptional talent. From the heart of the UK to international hubs like Copenhagen, New York, and Dubai, our reach continues to grow.

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.

This Sunday, 7th September, we’ll see a total lunar eclipse, promising a spectacular "Blood Moon.” Coincidence? We think not!

What qualities will define exceptional leadership in 25 years? As we celebrate Moon’s 25th anniversary, our Founding Director, Vanessa Moon, is already looking ahead, anticipating how the definition of a 'great leader' will transform over the next quarter-century.

In 25 years of placing CEOs, we've seen them ignite change – driving growth, leading turnarounds, even transforming entire industries.

This is just a snapshot of the sectors where their impact has been felt.

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?

On Tuesday 24 June, Moon Executive Search joined the University of Bristol Business School to co-host the latest instalment of The Thought Leaders Series – a programme that brings together senior leaders, researchers, and change-makers to explore some of today’s most pressing global issues.

Just as a New Moon signals a time for setting intentions, we've spent a quarter-century helping great leaders embark on new chapters and achieve their ambitions. Here's to 25 more years of continued growth and exciting opportunities!

The Sun takes centre stage, and the Moon is at its most elusive.

A bit like us, really – you might not always see us, but for 25 years, we’ve been quietly working behind the scenes, connecting Great Leaders with Great Opportunities. We're always here, ready to shine when you need us most!

On 17 June 2025, Moon Executive Search, in collaboration with VWV, Narrow Quay HR, and Circle2Success, hosted the second NED Leadership Lab – an exclusive gathering of Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), Chairs, and Trustees.

On June 18th, Moon Executive Search will join the South West’s leading tech minds at the Tech South West Digital Conference 2025 in Exeter. We’re proud to co-host a crucial session on Governance and Risk – Staying Ahead: Risk, Compliance, and Boardroom Responsibility for Non-Executive Directors.

I never set out to build just another Executive Search firm.

I started Moon because I believed there was a better, more personal way to connect leaders with opportunities and, in turn, connect businesses with the communities they serve.

As Moon was founded in June 2000, the Moon Team gathered this week to mark the moment. Our founding Directors Vanessa Moon and Brian Frost, and other members of the team shared their favourite memories and a few things we’re especially proud of from our time at Moon. The team presented Vanessa and Brian with a ceremonial plaque as we celebrated our journey together.

Come with us as we celebrate 25 in business and 25 years of “opening doors” at Moon Executive Search.

Leading executives and non-executives gathered for the first in a series of Board 2030 events, addressing the key challenges and opportunities facing their organisations over the next five years.
