"Morgan Hunt were tasked with recruiting up to three new Board members and three independent committee members for YMCA St Paul’s Group. Our expectations were high and the skills we were looking for was diverse. Despite us instructing them in the build up to Christmas they managed to attract a strong long list from which Will supported us to whittle this down to an exciting shortlist from which we successfully made our appointments in early January. We were very well supported by Will and the Morgan Hunt team during the process. They not only provided helpful insights into the candidates but also supported the interview and appointment process. Despite an ambitious timetable, the candidates and ourselves felt well informed and supported in the process."

CASE STUDY

Chief Executive for YMCA Norfolk

Morgan Hunt successfully appointed John Lee as the new Chief Executive for YMCA Norfolk, following the 12-year tenure of Tim Sweeting. The search faced unique challenges, including the need for a candidate with strong Christian faith, charity sector experience, and the willingness to relocate. Through targeted outreach and a rigorous vetting process, we identified and secured a leader who aligns with YMCA Norfolk's mission and values, ensuring a smooth transition and continued impact for the charity.
