About us

Our Story

The Succession Partnership brings together a team of experienced occupational psychologists, executive assessors and coaches who share a common belief: organisations make better leadership decisions when they combine robust evidence with human understanding.

Interlocking rings — brand motif representing succession and partnership

Our founders have worked at senior levels within leading consultancies and global organisations, supporting succession, assessment and leadership decisions across FTSE 100, FTSE 250, private equity-backed and international businesses. We have assessed thousands of leaders and advised Boards, CEOs and executive teams on some of their most important people decisions.

We deliberately keep our business boutique. It means our clients work directly with experienced practitioners who stay close to the detail, understand the context and care about ensuring the work has lasting impact.

What we believe

Our Philosophy

We believe leadership assessment should be rigorous, objective and honest. It should also be respectful, developmental and grounded in the reality of leading people and organisations.

Our role is not to validate existing assumptions. It is to provide clear, independent insight that helps organisations understand where leadership strength exists, where risks remain and what actions will make the biggest difference.

Explore our services

We regularly support organisations operating across the UK, Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. Our assessors bring deep experience of working across cultures, industries and leadership contexts, including FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and global multinational organisations. Whether assessing a single executive appointment or delivering a multi-country succession programme, we combine local understanding with a consistent global approach.
