OUR FOUR DIVISIONS
One specialist, four divisions
Hospitality and F&B is not one market. Across our four divisions, Luxury, Lifestyle, Brands and Catering each move to their own rhythm. We work across all four, which means we understand where talent comes from, where it performs, and what good looks like in each.
Fine dining and Michelin restaurants, luxury hotels and resorts, private members clubs and private households. Where the standard is impeccable service and brand prestige.
EXPLORE LUXURY →Lifestyle hotels, beach clubs, bars and experience-led restaurant groups. Where the standard is energy, atmosphere and a guest experience people talk about.
EXPLORE LIFESTYLE →Multi-unit brands that scale: QSR, fast casual, casual dining and coffee. Where the standard is operational consistency across every site and market.
EXPLORE BRANDS →Contract catering, production kitchens, CPUs and airlines. Where the standard is consistency and compliance at volume.
EXPLORE CATERING →I started Roundtable Search in December 2024, after more than 15 years recruiting in hospitality & F&B. The way I work is collaborative and consultative: I keep communication high on the agenda, I treat every conversation as confidential, and I look to add real value to a process rather than simply fill a role. What I offer a client is an honest, real-time view of who is performing, who is moving, and where the market is heading.
Roundtable Search exists to connect exceptional talent with the businesses building the future of hospitality. Across every search, from mid-senior appointments to C-level mandates, we operate with rigorous confidentiality, deep sector knowledge, and a network that reaches where others don’t. We measure success the way our clients do: by the quality of the appointment and the trust we earn to be called again.
To be the most respected recruitment and search consultancy in EMEA’s hospitality and food & beverage industries, the agency that operators, owners, investors and private equity instinctively reach for when the search matters most.
Every search is handled with discretion. What is shared with us stays with us, always.
We go where generalists don’t. Relationships built over years, not pulled from a database.
Clients and candidates always know where they stand. No silence, no chasing.
We don’t present volume. We present the right people, properly assessed.
Built to move. Speed without sacrificing quality, because the best candidates don’t wait.
