Roelof Botha

Single Family Office

From the first discussion with Ginny to agreeing a final contract with my new employer, this has been an unrivalled experience on all fronts. The process was transparent, honest, and enriching. I will be working with the Somers Partnership for many years to come.

David Langmead

Langmead Group

The Somers Partnership were recommended to us when we were looking for a new senior appointment to our family office. The team began by really getting under the skin of our requirements, business and culture, then created an innovative approach for segmenting the marketplace and overlaying our criteria to really drill down into our priorities. Their communication style throughout, coupled with their desire to really understand and articulate the brief and become advocates on our behalf, was refreshing and the candidates shortlisted from their extensive research were of a high calibre.  When we hit a bump in the road, the real value of the relationship showed, both in their tenacity and in the trust and rapport they build with their clients and candidates, which certainly paid off.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rupert Phelps

Partner, Family Office Services, Smith & Williamson

“The Somers Partnership combine proven expertise in search with demonstrable integrity. They are rare in having a deep and effective understanding of SFOs, as well as MFOs and the wider wealth management sector.”

Anthony Simler

CEO, Dominvs Family Office

“It’s been such a pleasure dealing with Mark, Ginny and the rest of the Somers team.  I first met Mark maybe 10 years ago, and although nothing transpired until now, we always stayed in contact and thankfully so.  Mark and his team are expert at finding the right person for a particular role. I don’t know how they do it, but they clearly have an innate skill at understanding a candidate and an employer, possibly better than they know themselves.   From my perspective as a candidate, the process was at all times, personal, utterly honest, rigorous and respectful.  Thank you.”

Melanie Griffiths  

“I was impressed by Somers Partnership's professional approach. They took the time to listen to where I wanted to take my career and were thoughtful about the opportunities they approached me with. They acted as a true executive search firm, matching candidate and firm through a rigorous process. I am delighted with the new role and would not hesitate to recommend Somers Partnership to any prospective employer. They understand the industry far better than many of their competitors and thoroughly test candidates' motivation &  suitability for a role without losing sight of the fact that ultimately personalities must also match. An intricate balance of science and art! ”

Rob Ioannou 

“I didn’t know it at the time but meeting Mark Somers would change my life.  Twenty years ago I was a young private banker working in London, seeking a new professional opportunity.  What I really appreciated about Mark from the outset was that he took the time to get to know me, understand my aspirations and then identity and place me into a role which was exactly what I was looking for.  Fast forward two decades and thanks to that initial meeting I have had the opportunity to grow in leaps and bounds. I have lived and work in the UK as well as in Asia, covered a diverse range of clients, products and geographies, built and run substantial businesses, and now, more recently, developed my own entrepreneurial journey in the family office sector.  Mark’s outstanding industry knowledge, his connectivity to movers and shakers in the private wealth market along with a genuine interest in people, make him an invaluable go-to person for candidates and principals alike.  As I look ahead to the next 20 years I know Mark will continue to be an invaluable resource and counsel, and am delighted to recommend him.”

Alasdair Ogilvy

Portfolio Director at Cazenove Capital

"I have known and worked with Mark and his team since 2006. His knowledge of his market is profound and his professional behaviour exemplary. He combines great communication skills with forensic research of the private banking sector and a consequent ability to match individuals to organisations with accuracy and realistic expectations for all parties concerned. I recommend him highly."

Sebastian Dovey

Formerly Managing Partner Scorpio Partnership Limited

"The Somers Partnership have a strong ability to take the long term view in identifying candidates that will add value to a business. This is an expertise from which we have benefitted."

Deep Chahal

Director of Finance, Family Office

“I would recommend the Somers Partnership for those looking for a role in the family and wealth management space and the same applies to those seeking to recruit in that sector... A very professional set-up and approach to the job search market.”

Family Office Candidate

“The Somers Partnership helped by matching me with my current role and working with me to ensure a successful outcome and I would recommend the Somers Partnership to anyone looking to secure a role or looking to fill a vacancy in the Family Office and Ultra High Net Worth space.  I particularly like their ongoing communication throughout the recruitment process and their continued interest in the development of my career.”
