The people
who do the work.
Every partner at Hexford came up through specialist senior recruitment in their discipline. Every consultant is hands-on with active briefs. We do not have a junior tier that handles the work behind a senior name — the named person is the person you deal with.
Rachel Marlow
Co-founded Marlow & Finch in 2008 after twelve years at Hays. Leads the Commerce practice — sales, marketing, commercial, and general management appointments across the South East. The firm's longest-tenured client relationships are her own.
James Finch
Co-founded Marlow & Finch in 2008. Leads the Finance practice — qualified and PQ finance appointments across permanent, interim, and contract. ACA-qualified, having spent five years in audit before moving into search. The thoughtful counterweight to Rachel's commercial instinct.
Priya Shah
Senior Finance consultant focused on the part-qualified and qualified end of the market — Management Accountants through to Senior Finance Business Partners. CIMA part-qualified herself, which informs the way she frames the candidate conversation. Joined Marlow & Finch in 2019.
Thomas Okonkwo
Heads Operations recruitment at Marlow & Finch — supply chain, logistics, production, and procurement. Eight years in industry before recruitment (warehouse management at DHL, then operations at Ocado), which informs the briefing conversation in a way most operations recruiters can't match.
Emily Clarke
Leads the Executive Support practice from the London office. Specialises in senior EA, Chief of Staff, and Office Manager appointments across family offices, professional services, and private equity. The practice she built is now the firm's most profitable on a per-consultant basis.
Daniel Wright
Heads Technology recruitment from the Brighton office — software developers, technical leadership, and the small but steady stream of contract and interim technology briefs the firm runs each year. Self-taught developer before recruitment, with the unusual ability to actually read a candidate's GitHub.
