Case Studies

Compass Executives were mandated by Clearbrook Capital Partners to source a replacement Chief Executive Officer for their portfolio business, Integrum Care Group – as the Founding Chief Executive was moving into a Non-Executive Director position.

Owing to a previously failed search, Clearbrook needed an executive search firm who had the knowledge and network to deliver a replacement at pace – given the lost time.

The successful candidate would be responsible for leading the business through a medium term refinance, before then leading the ensuing investment cycle – therefore must have had prior Private Equity exposure within an Elderly Care environment.

Compass Executives were appointed by Schoen Clinic to source a UK based Finance Director to be responsible for overseeing all UK operations, along with leading on all aspects of financial performance based on the planned, and anticipated, growth – in line with the wider business strategy.

Compass Executives were able to draw upon the extensive network of finance professionals to identify a shortlist of candidates who were all invited to interview when the shortlist was presented to the Board. The ensuing process saw a preferred candidate unanimously identified, with an offer extended and accepted to said candidate, who then was able to start in a timescale of less than 5 weeks after the initial approach was made by Schoen Clinic to Compass Executives.

Compass Executives were exclusively mandated by Aurora Group to initially source an interim Chief Executive Officer as part of an organisational restructure, in November 2019.

Owing to our long-standing relationship with Investor, Octopus Group, and our sister company, Compass Associates, having made a number of historical placements with the Group, our unique understand of the business at all levels and market-leading track record was the key factor in being mandated with the requirement.

Compass Executives ran a concurrent full-scale executive search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer, before the incumbent was offered the position full time.

Compass Executives were exclusively mandated by Dolphin Homes to source an exceptional Finance Director as part of a newly created position in the business, during May 2020.

As a result of the outstanding process completed during the facilitation of an Operations Director at the organisation, and Compass Executives’ unmatched track record in the Adult Residential Care sector, the decision to appoint the team was a straight-forward choice.

A full scale executive search was undertaken by the Finance team, covering candidates with an appropriate background in either healthcare or social care, along with a track record in demonstrating the capacity to grow businesses in line with M&A and land acquisition activities, in Private Equity backed environments.

Compass Executives were approached by Ion Equity to source a replacement Chief Executive Officer for Nua Healthcare, as the incumbent was moving into a non-executive directorship capacity as Chairman.
