Longwater Partners is connected to many Diversity networks and has a 14-year history of helping companies build strong, diverse leadership teams, and we have contributed to the advancement of women and minority ethnic representation in many boardrooms.

As a result of the proactive approach we adopt to tracking senior executives and non-executives, combined with our approach to Board searches, we consistently deliver diverse shortlists of qualified, credible candidates for our clients. While we ensure candidates match each client’s brief with regard to skills, experience and cultural fit, we also pride ourselves on bringing unconventional and creative choices to our shortlists.

Our engagement with the question of balance on Boards predates the publication of either the Hampton-Alexander or Parker Reviews. We have been commissioned by clients to undertake talent analyses in key sectors and forged successful partnerships to underpin our commitment.
