ABOUT US

Our team takes a highly commercial, confidential and pragmatic approach to each mandate.  Rather than a phone call to discuss our capabilities, we will arrange a time to meet in person.  After all, we are a people business and we know the importance of having the right chemistry, rapport and trust to build long-term business relationships that are rewarding for all parties. It is this level of intimate engagement and trust that will make our partnership successful.

Foley Durham is a privately owned independent Executive Search and Board Appointment firm offering deep experience as trusted advisor to many CEO’s and Boards across ASX listed, Private Equity and SME’s in C-suite level talent identification and acquisition.

Our philosophy is to develop deep and committed relationships with a small number of clients and help them deliver a superior performance by optimising the composition of their Board and Executive team. We are subject matter experts across FMCG, Agriculture, Retail, Health, Aged Care, Industrial, Transport, IT & T, Mining and Financial Services. 

We deliver tailored outcomes that are innovative, objective, industry best practice, personalised and provide immediacy. We are proud that our reputation has been founded on many years of building meaningful, long-term friendships with clients and candidates.

We highly value the referral of senior work from clients and candidates and we see this as a privilege. We are committed to maintaining the trust of our clients by consistently operating with the highest level of integrity and honesty.

​

Why Foley Durham?

We are business minded and people-centric. We promote diversity in gender balance, commercial experiences, technical skills and academic qualifications.

We recognise that change in business is constant, evolving and rapid. Our rigorous assessment of identifying, screening and interviewing people is direct, candid, honest and factual allowing us to make decisions that are current, objective and without bias. We are renowned for a no-nonsense approach that delivers to each brief. We are also results focused and honest in providing constructive and timely feedback.

Our objective is to support, nurture, encourage measured long-term shareholder value with clients whilst also developing and harnessing every candidate’s potential for career development, leadership and goal setting. This extends to career transition and ultimately into a career as a Non-Executive Director.

Our journey goes well beyond the appointment of a senior executive or Non-Executive Director. We invest time in each client to ensure successful onboarding and nurture the relationship with the appointed candidate to deliver a successful transition that exceeds expectations.

Our Values

Creating a collaborative and highly engaged team of high performers that are responsive, disciplined, ethical, resilient and empathetic. We take a consultative approach and exhibit a genuine and sincere engagement at all times. Trust and respect are at the core of every interaction we have with clients, candidates and employees.

Hallmarks of Success

Underpinning Foley Durham’s success has been our ability to support and partner growing companies, entrepreneurs and private equity/venture capital to achieve their goals.  We recognise the traits to be successful in today’s competitive landscape and have experienced many business cycles.

We are proud of the way we place importance on listening and being agile, responsive, pragmatic, collaborative, and challenging the status quo.

We ensure that every client and candidate is treated with respect and often require a tailored approach to unlocking their potential and bringing their ambitions into reality.  Underpinning our success is discretion and unconditional trust in all our communications.

We become intricately involved and submerge ourselves in your business over the lifecycle so that we understand the culture, team structure, vision and values which allows us to identify and match C-suite executive level and NED talent with each functional role across diverse sectors.

At the cornerstone of our continued success are referrals by our business associates and friends. We aspire to be regarded as your preferred executive and board advisory firm.  Ultimately “your business is our business” so we welcome you to call us anytime for a confidential discussion.
