Executive Search Across Wales

Novo partners with organisations across Wales from dynamic growth companies to long established institutions. Our consultants know the Welsh market well, with many of our team living in the country or having longstanding ties here. That local insight, combined with national reach, helps us move quickly while staying culturally aligned.

We operate across every major Welsh centre. Cardiff and the wider Capital Region, Swansea Bay, Newport, the Valleys, North Wales including Wrexham and Bangor, and the rural heartlands that power manufacturing and renewable energy. Clients span private and family-owned businesses, private equity backed portfolios, listed companies, public bodies, and charities. The common thread is leadership that shapes outcomes.

Sector coverage is intentionally wide:

Professional Services & Financial Leadership
Technology & Engineering
Creative & Media
Energy & Green Energy
Manufacturing
Life Sciences
FMCG, Food & Drink
Construction & Property

We bring cross sector perspective to every brief, so ideas travel and candidates with adjacent experience are not overlooked.

Our team of executive search experts can deliver search and recruitment and support your executive search across Wales, in a wide variety of executive roles, which include:

Chief Executive
Chief Financial Officer
Managing Director
Chief Operating Officer
Chief Commercial Officer
Partners at Accountancy and Law Firms
Non-Executive Appointments

Each assignment is tailored, discreet and consultative. We invest time to understand the organisation, its stakeholders, and the specific context in Wales, then build a targeted and research led campaign that reaches both active and passive talent.
