William Andrews – Associate Director

Research Consultant

I was looking to grow professionally after finishing university and wanted a role with a clear career path, strong training, and room for advancement. I was keen to develop skills that would set me up for success and didn’t want to stay in a position with a low ceiling or limited opportunities. That’s why Specialist Search felt like the right fit. I also wanted a role where effort was rewarded — both professionally and financially — not just tied to a fixed base salary.

I joined Braddock because I was genuinely impressed by Guy and Lee’s vision for the company. Back in 2018, Braddock was only in its third year — but their ambition and experience were clear, and I knew I wanted to learn from them.
Since then, I’ve seen Braddock evolve from a niche outfit into a fully-fledged specialist search firm with new practices in place — while still holding onto what makes it unique in the market. It’s been brilliant to be part of that journey, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

We’re proud of our culture at Braddock and work hard to maintain it. The office is friendly, and regular socials make it easy to build strong relationships.
It’s also incredibly easy to communicate with Guy and Lee. They’re supportive, hands-on with training, and always looking out for the team’s success. They’re also easygoing and always up for a laugh — it genuinely feels like working with friends.

I’d recommend Braddock to anyone looking to build their professional skills, who’s driven to succeed, and wants to be part of a close-knit team.
