Saxton Bampfylde

Saxton Bampfylde was founded by Anthony Saxton and Stephen Bampfylde in 1986, with the mission of delivering a new approach to executive search and creating a unique working environment and culture. This remains reflected in theirmission statement to this day.

In 2014, Saxton Bampfylde became employee-owned. In what they believe is a first in the executive search industry, they have an elected trustee body who have oversight of the strategic objectives and values of our business and have been recognised as the leading search firm for values. Academic research has shown, employee owned businesses tend to outperform in their sector, are resilient in lean times and are more likely to innovate than other ownership structures.

With a 30 year track record of finding successful leaders, Saxton Bampfylde has been pioneers in research-intensive executive search from the outset. In this business, they know that nothing is more important than relationships and can sum up who thye are, and what thye do, in one simple idea: The right people. The right people in our organisation, finding the right people for yours.

Saxton Bampfylde works with some of the world’s most dynamic and significant organisations, from blue-chip multinationals to heritage brands, and government departments to public sector bodies and regulators – they combine strength and depth. They build powerful long-term partnerships with our clients, applying that in-depth knowledge both to specific assignments, and to wider strategic issues like workforce development, talent mapping, succession management, and diversity planning.

They approach every search process with the same commitment to open communications, full trust, and absolute confidentiality.
