Introducing Leadership and Executive at Elevation Recruitment Group

Following a record-breaking 2025, we are proud to announce the launch of Elevation Recruitment Group’s new Leadership and Executive division, marking a significant milestone in the continued growth and evolution of our business.
This new division brings together our senior recruitment capability under a single, dedicated Leadership and Executive brand, focused on securing high-impact leaders for organisations across Yorkshire and the wider UK. The team boasts over 15 specialists and sector experts.

Why We Created the Leadership and Executive Division

The decision to launch Leadership and Executive follows our strongest year to date. In 2025, we achieved record revenues, saw sustained client demand, and continued to invest across our specialist markets. As the business has matured, so too has the nature of the leadership challenges our clients are facing. Increasingly, they are looking for a more structured and consultative approach to leadership and executive appointments, and this division has been created to meet that demand.

Supporting Senior Leadership Appointments

Leadership and Executive will support appointments across senior leadership, director and executive levels, including Managing Directors, General Managers, Functional Directors, Heads of Department and future leadership talent. It sits between our established leadership recruitment activity and our executive search capability, providing a clear and consistent pathway from leadership through to the C-suite.
At the most senior end of the market, we also operate Parkinson|Lee, our executive search brand specialising in national and international C-suite and Director appointments. Leadership and Executive draws on the strength of the wider group’s networks and market insight, enabling us to identify high-calibre leaders who are often not visible through traditional recruitment channels.
By bringing together senior specialists from across our core markets, including Engineering and Manufacturing, Accountancy and Finance, Technology and Transformation, People and HR, Sales, Marketing, Procurement and Supply Chain, this division represents one of the most comprehensive Leadership and Executive recruitment teams in the region.

How Elevation Has Evolved

This launch reflects how Elevation has evolved. We have always worked at senior levels, but the scale and complexity of demand have increased significantly over recent years. Bringing this capability together into a dedicated Leadership and Executive division allows us to be more deliberate, consistent and impactful in how we support our clients.
Following a record-breaking 2025, this feels like a natural next step. Our clients are growing, transforming and navigating increasingly complex leadership challenges, and this division ensures we are set up to support them with the depth, focus and market insight those appointments demand.
As we look ahead to 2026, the quality of leadership appointments matters more than ever. Getting the right people in place is not just about filling roles; it is about setting businesses up to move forward with confidence.

Our Approach

One of the real strengths of this division is the depth of our specialist teams and the networks they have built over many years. That gives us access not only to experienced leaders and directors, but also to emerging talent and future executives who are often under the radar. Because we sit so closely to our markets, we are engaging with individuals well before they are actively considering a move, allowing us to support immediate leadership needs while also advising on longer term succession as organisations scale and evolve.
The Leadership and Executive division will operate with a strong emphasis on long term partnerships, discreet search, market insight and network-led recruitment, supported by Elevation Recruitment Group’s wider infrastructure and specialist expertise.
This launch forms part of our wider growth strategy, with continued investment planned across our people, brand and market presence as we build on the momentum of 2025.
