About Us

The business was started by Barrie Dennett who is a Booz Allen & Hamilton alumnus. His experience at Booz exposed him to the extraordinary level of talent in the top consulting firms and he built the business on the premise that such talent could make significant contributions to other sectors of commerce and industry. From the early and very successful days, when most of the clients were leading consulting firms, the business has evolved to work now predominantly for industrial and commercial clients.

The product remains the same although it has been much extended and developed. ADD provides its clients with access to an extraordinary network of people with any or all of the following –

*a world-class educational background,

*a top level consulting background or

*a high profile job with a significant strategic content.

The scope is global, but with a definite focus on Europe with major engagements in Germany, France, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain as well as the UK. The firm’s networks and penetrative access to a unique selection of candidates in all these locations has been built up over many years and many successful engagements and, in Europe, is second to none.

The main thrust of our engagements is top-level searches. As an indicator, most successful candidates would be earning £150k+ and would currently be at or within sight of a subsidiary board appointment or partnership in a consulting firm.
