Background and Expertise

Universal Advisory Group is a talent specialist, with recruitment and executive search as our core business, complemented by business advisory and consulting as our secondary business. We define talent as exceptional individual(s) who create, who add value to a bottomline, who make a difference.

We emphasise “advisory” because we partner with organisations with whom we can form a long standing relationship and avoid transactional service provision.

Our industry specialisms include:

• 
creative (digital, advertising, PR, IT, social media)
• 
travel and leisure (TMC, wholesale, online, GDS, operators, airlines) 
• technology (in house IT, system integrators, advanced technology) 
• retail and luxury (high street, luxury brands)
• 
consumer (fmcg, supply chain, pharmaceutical and life science)
• financial services (insurance, cards, VC, PE, investment and private banking)

We are a privately owned organisation, with solid funding and significant aspirations. Without shareholders or complex internal structures, we are able to offer a highly personalised service, with extremely competitive and flexible fees. Our vision is to be the “best in our field”.

Additionally, should your requirement fall outside our core businesses, then we collaborate with trusted external partners who provide additional global expertise including:

• executive search for property, hospitality, retail, banking operations and advanced technology 
• business advisory including consultants, interim sales managers, conferences
• training: trainers, event space, sponsorship, published content
