George Dobbins, Founding Director

Why Found Beaumont Bailey?

I genuinely believe there is an opportunity to improve the existing executive search model. Personal relationships will always play a crucial part of the industry and we want to embrace that by supporting organisations to retain, train and develop their future leaders. But we also can see the opportunity to introduce technology that can use predictive analytics to better understand workforce performance and therefore the needs from a talent perspective. This combination is unique, particularly within the context of the infrastructure, real estate and industrial markets.

Thoughts on Leadership?

We are living in a period that is unparalleled in history and Leaders face an incredibly difficult task. In a world where transparency is vital and society holds every decision to account, Leaders are making very difficult decisions on problems we have not faced before. It’s crucial that we give Leaders and Future Leaders all the support possible to make sure they are in a position to make the right decisions.
