History
Ampersand was established in 2008 by a team of senior managers and consultants who saw a gap in the market for a consultancy that provided a high-touch, boutique approach to Executive Search and Recruitment. We all have a passion for people consulting, coupled with an entrepreneurial drive that has made Ampersand a leader in our industry.
And we never compromise on talent
All of our consultants are experts in their respective markets across the sales, marketing, communications and HR / change management disciplines. The sum of our experience covers a broad range of industries from financial services and banking, to FMCG and consumer/retail, professional services, energy and resources, and the not-for-profit and government sectors.
With the only constant being change, we place a high value on transparent and honest communication in order to intimately understand our candidates’ and clients’ needs.
We listen
Many of our candidates have gone on to become our clients and we feel this is the ultimate confirmation that our approach is the right one.
Why we’re called Ampersand
We've consciously created a brand that has meaning. The pronunciation of the word 'ampersand' is, linguistically, a relative of the Latin phrase 'et per se'. This translates as 'and' by itself. The ampersand symbol '&' is a typographic derivation of 'et' — Latin for 'and'.
For example: 
Nowadays the most common ampersand symbol is: &
So for centuries et or &, has been used to connect, to bring together and to join. This symbolism underpins all we, as an executive recruitment firm, do. We bring together clients & candidates, work & life, the professional & personal.
Our Signature
In 2010, we re-branded ourselves and launched a new website. And what better way to indicate our personal approach than through the use of our very own signature and accompanying seal of authenticity. It’s our promise to you of quality, best practice specialisation and a bespoke approach for our clients and candidates.
