Who We Are

Since 2012, Northco has provided Operational Management solutions for businesses where people, specifically management, affect operational productivity and performance.  

Whether it’s to headhunt a replacement manager, provide an interim management solution during a turbulent trading period, fill a temporary skills gap for a major project, or provide operational coaching for a new leader, NorthCo has a proven track record of delivering pragmatic operational management solutions.

We specialise in sourcing operationally focused management to maintain and bridge capability gaps through permanent, project or interim recruitment solutions. 

Working across various industries and sectors, we source operational people, people motivated by challenges who thrive in dynamic environments, people who lead from the front to enhance efficiency and productivity. Their drive stems from a desire to positively impact their teams and achieve operational goals.

What We Do:

We Fill Management and Executive Vacancies through Headhunting

NorthCo excels in headhunting top-tier talent for mid-senior level management and executive roles. Our strategic talent acquisition process specifically sources operationally capable individuals who drive performance and inspire their teams.

We Address Emergency Manpower Problems with Interim Solutions

NorthCo offers immediate emergency management by deploying experienced interim professionals who can step into roles with little lead time. Simultaneously, we thoroughly search for a long-term solution, ensuring operational stability while strategically filling your permanent needs.

We Fill Temporary Skills Gaps with Project Experts

When specialised skills are needed urgently, NorthCo provides access to a pool of highly qualified project experts for temporary projects. Our experts integrate seamlessly into your team, delivering immediate value and helping you meet deadlines without the burden of long-term hiring.

We Bridge Performance Gaps through Operational Coaching

NorthCo embeds operational coaches and advisors “on the ground” to provide hands-on guidance, Coaching and expertise. These advisors relieve management stress, drive projects, and implement sustainable improvements, empowering your team for future challenges.

Why Choose NorthCo?

Agility & Flexibility

From our fee structure and payment terms to generating shortlists in shorter timescales, we offer greater agility and flexibility than traditional executive search businesses.

Business Acumen

We come from a deep business background. If you ask for a head of operations, we'll ask a few questions and get on with it. We don't need a job spec to understand the fundamentals of the role. Of course, if you don't already have one, we'll write a draft job description for your approval.

Professional Team

Our professional search and support team uses a strategy that combines deep insight, structured processes, and active dialogue, performed with pace, precision, and the utmost confidentiality and always with integrity and the best interest of our clients at the forefront of what we do.

Boutique Approach

We distinguish ourselves from being a recruitment factory, taking a highly personalised approach to each assignment. By only taking on a select number of assignments at any one time, we ensure we never dilute the quality of our service, maintaining a personal approach to both candidate care and the client experience.

Personal Touch

Our Managing Partner runs every campaign personally. Trevor is an exceptional management recruiter, powered by his diverse experience and extensive background in the business world.

Solution Oriented

Our operational mindset is critical to supporting you in maintaining operational management capability. Our ability to quickly present suitably qualified replacements, either permanent, project or interim solutions sets us apart from traditional recruitment practices.

Long-term Partnerships

At the heart of our ethos lies a commitment to fostering enduring relationships built on discretion, trust, and mutual respect. Through our placement guarantee, we commit to delivering excellent client service and working closely with clients for the long term.

Easy To Work With

We pride ourselves on a distinct blend of thoughtfulness and simplicity, combining a calm yet decisive approach that inspires confidence and action. We should do the heavy lifting for you, it's not quite "fire and forget," but if you submit a brief, we want you to know that we are "on it"; the last thing we want is for you to waste time chasing us.

"I first met Trev when he was running his Leadership School. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was about his approach, a relaxed intensity, but I knew I wanted him on my team. That gut instinct paid off. We worked and played hard for the following 15 years, growing the company to be one of the UK’s largest motor dealer groups. Trev played an essential part and was a cornerstone of the senior management team."

“I have nothing but positives to say about Trevor. So professional, hard-working and great support to me not just business-wise but also on a personal level. Honest, reliable and trustworthy, a true gent and I am very lucky to spend time with and know people like Trevor. I know Trevor because we asked him to come in and rescue a business that was in a totally perilous position. Lots of people talk the talk, but Trevor very much walks the walk! I would absolutely recommend Trevor.”

“I have known and worked with Trevor for 5 years. I have nothing but admiration for him. His ability to think through problems logically and break down complex issues into manageable bite sizes / steps is excellent. He has lots of energy and commitment which when combined with the aforementioned attributes makes him an excellent leader of a team or teams to take on the most difficult issues. His honesty and probity are undoubted and his would be amongst the first names on my dream management team-sheet.”

“As a banking professional with over 22 years of experience, it is refreshing to work with a senior executive who knows what they want from bank facilities and what us bankers require to deliver that. Motivated, direct, and without any edge, Trevor laid out what was needed, enabling us to establish a comfortable working relationship quickly.”
