Case Studies

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 mandated by Moonray Healthcare, the biomedical investment arm of Fidelity International to source a number of Hospital Directors for Optegra – a leading International Ophthalmology provider – following failed efforts from other means of resourcing.

This subsequently led to the exclusive mandates of a Medical Director, and a Commercial Director for the business as a result of the high quality service provision experienced when sourcing four Hospital Directors for the organisation.

Compass Executives were exclusively mandated by Synova Capital backed PreventX – a leading provider of online-led sexual health testing and diagnostic services – to source a Chief Commercial Officer.

As a result of our previous relationship with the current Chief Executive Officer, Compass Executives were invited to a competitive pitch where we demonstrated the key attributes PreventX were looking for in a search partner.

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.
