STEVE HAGUES - PROFILE

Managing Director, Executive Search, Business Marketing Consultant

Originally graduating in Business Management, Steve later qualified as a Chartered Marketing Practitioner before beginning his decade of experience within Financial Services consultancy.

Steve has a deep understanding of both executive search and the UK regulated market and its people. He has been investing in his contacts, business and name for 8 years now.

Robert Graham (Retired IFA Proprietor)

"Thanks for your assistance with the sale of my business. It’s taken less than 19 weeks from when I first contacted you to complete the sale, initially all I had to do was to turn up for the meetings that you’d arranged. I am happy to recommend your services without reservation."

Many thanks."
