Who we are.
About the team at Edward Drummond & Co.
Edward Drummond & Co is a leading provider of consultancy and research services across human capital, business planning and strategic analysis for international and UK clients. We are experts in retained executive search and non-executive search, working closely with organisations ranging from multinationals and public sector bodies to SMEs, LLPs, start-ups and non-profit organisations.
Our specialist consulting practice for the legal sector enjoys an international reputation and profile, working with some of the world’s largest law firms, alongside leading City, national and regional practices.
How do we help?
Our mission at Edward Drummond & Co is to take executive search beyond the obvious. To dig deeper and look further to find you proven performers recognised for their ability, foresight, leadership and growth potential, wherever in the world they may be.
Our integrated consultancy offering sets us apart from other executive recruitment firms. Our rigorous approach accesses data often not in the public domain, generating insight into the character, business record and reputation of potential candidates, to give you the edge in decision making.
Our team includes accredited expert witnesses who regularly produce reports for claimants or defendants in ‘loss of earnings, loss of chance or loss of opportunity’ cases.
Truly talented people aren’t restricted by boundaries; they thrive in the international arena. As do we. When you ask us to find you the very best people, we won’t limit our search to your area, or even the country you operate in.
Through our network of international partners across more than 20 global territories, we can identify, reach and engage talent (actively looking or not) anywhere in the world and recruit candidates in most business languages.
Edward Drummond & Co is a member of Agilium Worldwide, a global top 25 executive search group.
Our key people.
