Alice Hunt
EXECUTIVE SEARCH CONSULTANT
Alice Hunt joined the Somers Partnership in 2010 after previously running her own property management business in south-west London. Having worked with the Somers Partnership for over a decade, there aren’t many of our clients or candidates who haven’t spoken with Alice. With her extensive knowledge of the industry, Alice is perfectly positioned to undertake searches and help clients identify what (or who) it is they need. Her unflappable personality and ability to multitask under pressure make her an indispensable member of the Somers Partnership team. If you can’t find Alice at her desk, she can be found capsizing her dingy in the Solent or cycling the Surrey Hills with her trusted Labrador!
Astrid Bek

Emilie Heaney
MARKETING CONSULTANT

Beetle
WASTE DISPOSAL CONSULTANT
Beetle works alongside Indie to ensure the wellbeing of our team, but her speciality is in waste disposal. Never one to shy away from cleaning up after a lunch meeting, Beetle has finessed her snack stealing skills over an entire career and has been known to rob some members of the team of their entire lunchbox undetected. Her favourite part of the day is the morning commute and she has achieved chartered status in warming people's feet during brainstorming sessions.
Indie
FUTURE GROWTH CONSULTANT
Indie is the latest addition to the Somers Partnership team and is settling in to her new role very well. She has a nose for sniffing out ideal new candidates and digging into the details of what our clients are looking for. In charge of new markets and our future growth plan, Indie is enjoying learning from Beetle whilst also trying to teach these old dogs some new tricks. Indie has shown a particular aptitude for data protection and is intent on shredding everything in site (even our shoes) and is sure to be an asset to the team.
