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.

2023 was a remarkable year of growth and success for Moon Executive Search, mirroring the broader industry's upward trajectory. The landscape of business, innovation and leadership requires adaptability and proactive responses to challenges. In 2023, we connected many exciting organisations with exceptional leaders, to not only navigate the present but also shape the future. The past year also saw our Leadership Consulting division reach new heights, alongside meaningful developments for our IT & Charity Practices. As we reflect on the year’s achievements, we have a burgeoning sense of excitement for the opportunities 2024 presents.
