Our sectors

Our business was founded as a specialist search firm for the hospitality industry and we have expanded across our other chosen sectors as we have grown and developed as a business.

We partner with many of the world’s leading operators, both blue-chip and also lifestyle specific. We are exceptionally proud of our deep rooted knowledge of the Hospitality sector, along with our track record in the sector both domestically and internationally.

• Group Human Resources Director – International contract caterer
• Chief Financial Officer – Luxury hospitality group

We currently partner with many of the leading operators in the diverse leisure sector including visitor attraction / theme park operators, holiday parks, pub companies, restaurant groups and casual dining operators. Leisure as a sector is growing rapidly as consumer thirst for memorable experiences drives this growth.

Our clients range from FTSE listed multinational operators to private equity-backed businesses and privately-held organisations.

Recent appointments include:

• Chief Executive Officer – Casual dining group
• Director of Corporate Affairs – FTSE 100 listed global visitor attraction operator
• Non-Executive Director – Leading international private members group

Our clients in the travel sector range from airlines and tour operators through to online technology-focused aggregators. Much like the retail sector, the travel industry has changed significantly in recent years, in order to adapt to the change in both consumer behaviour and also the increased product which is now available.

We are proud to have advised and supported both leading brands in the sector and high growth challenger travel businesses across the luxury and value markets.

Recent appointments include:

• Chief Executive Officer – Vertically integrated travel business
• eCommerce Director – Growing online travel business
• Director of Customer Services – FTSE 100 listed airline
• Chief Operating Officer – PE backed corporate travel group

Fraser Giles Partnership have and continue to partner with dynamic retailers who are leading the way both in store and online. Given the changing landscape in the retail sector with retailers looking to create immersive and experiential offerings in store, our broad knowledge across consumer industries has developed our reputation for making creative appointments by frequently introducing candidates from outside the direct retail sector.

Recent appointments include:

• Retail Director – Global FTSE 250 retailer
• Marketing Director – Leading department store group
• Group Director of Internal Audit – International luxury retailer
• Finance Director – One of the UK’s leading privately owned retailers
