David Colgrave Email & Phone Number

I lead Axon Moore's Executive Search business; working alongside my colleagues to source and recruit C- suite and Director level candidates for privately owned, listed and PE backed organisations. My clients are usually referred to me by their closest, most trusted advisers. They ask me to help because we have worked together before and they are aware of my extensive network, experience, track record of success, integrity and uncomplicated, pragmatic, approach.The assignments I work on often require individuals with specific skills and experience around growth, transformation, corporate events, M&A, fund raising and stakeholder management. However they also need the leadership, credibility and gravitas to build and develop teams to support business goals in a controlled manner, together with the commercial awareness and strategic insight that adds real shareholder value and improves performance.Overarching this is the absolute need to match personalities, culture, values and operational styles; this is the "art" of recruitment. It requires empathy, sensitivity, curiosity, honesty and extensive experience of working with contacts across the Executive Search market.To borrow from Mr Sinek; my "why" is that I find enjoyment and professional satisfaction through solving recruitment problems and enabling careers.Recent assignments include:CEO - £130m t/o privately owned manufacturer - North WestCFO - £20m t/o PE backed professional services - LondonCFO - £40m t/o PE backed professional services - YorkshireCOO - £200m t/o PE backed infrastructure - North WestCFO - £150m t/o Privately owned property investment/ management - LondonCFO - £400m t/o Listed plant hire/ services - YorkshireFurther examples can be seen below.Please contact me for up to date market information and new opportunities.
