Enterprise Leadership.
Handled Properly.
Hamilton Finch advises Boards and senior HR leaders on enterprise-level leadership appointments where the cost of getting it wrong is measured in lost performance, confidence and time.
We specialise exclusively in industrial manufacturing and engineering, advising on Managing Director, COO and General Management roles where operational complexity and international scale demand judgement, discretion and absolute clarity of mandate.
Every assignment is sole and confidential, partner-led throughout and supports organisations across Europe, North America and the Middle East and designed to reduce leadership risk and protect the business from disruption.
Trusted at Board and Executive Level
What Boards & HR Leaders Say
Chair
Multi-Site European Manufacturing Group
“We engaged Hamilton Finch at a point where leadership continuity across our European manufacturing operations had become a Board concern. Their value was not in ‘search’, but in how they helped us define the mandate properly, challenge assumptions and manage the decision with discretion. The process felt controlled from start to finish.”
CHRO
Global Engineering / North America
“This was a complex leadership appointment spanning North America and Europe within our engineering-led organisation. Hamilton Finch operated as a genuine advisory partner, providing calm judgement, market intelligence and governance rather than transactional activity. That distinction mattered to us at Board level.”
Operating Partner

Hamilton Finch helped us assess leadership risk objectively and arrive at the right decision without creating internal noise or distraction. Their approach was disciplined, discreet and highly credible.”
Board Member
Middle East - International Industrial Group
“We required support on a sensitive leadership transition within an international industrial group operating in the Middle East and Europe. Hamilton Finch demonstrated a clear understanding of the operating context and handled the engagement with discretion and authority. The Board had confidence throughout.”
Non-Executive Director
North American Engineering-Led Manufacturing Organisation
“What stood out was Hamilton Finch’s understanding of engineering-intensive operations and the leadership demands that come with scale and complexity across our States.
