Automotive Executive Search for Board & C-Suite Appointments
The appointment of a board member or senior executive can shape the direction of a business for years to come. It requires more than an assessment of experience. It requires a clear understanding of the organisation, its ambitions and the leadership it needs to achieve them.
HCP Automotive provides executive search and board-level recruitment for automotive businesses across the UK, Middle East and Asia. We work with owners, Chairs and boards to identify and appoint exceptional leaders for positions where judgement, discretion and sector knowledge matter.
Finding the right leader
Our work covers senior appointments including Chief Executive Officers, Managing Directors, Chief Financial Officers, Executive Directors, Chairs and Non-Executive Directors.
We begin by understanding the business and the purpose of the appointment. This enables us to define the experience, character and leadership qualities required, before identifying individuals whose background and ambitions genuinely correspond with the brief.
Our knowledge of automotive retail, importers, distributors, OEMs and the wider mobility sector gives us access to an established network of senior professionals, including individuals who may not be actively considering a move.
A considered and confidential search
Senior appointments demand discretion. We approach potential candidates carefully and confidentially, protecting the interests of both the organisation and the individual throughout the process.
Our role extends beyond presenting CVs. We assess the relevance of each candidate’s experience, leadership style, motivations and likely fit with the organisation. The result is a considered shortlist rather than a collection of available candidates.
Whether the requirement is a new Chief Executive, a Managing Director to lead the next stage of growth, a Finance Director to strengthen the board, or an experienced Non-Executive Director to provide independent perspective, we bring the same level of attention to every assignment.
HCP Automotive is a trusted partner, working closely with our board to recruit top-tier C-suite executives across our businesses. Their service is both personal and confidential, ensuring that our specific needs are met with the utmost professionalism and discretion.

THE DIFFERENCE IS PERSONAL.
Leadership that stands up to scrutiny
HCP Automotive has spent more than two decades working within the automotive sector, building relationships with senior leaders, business owners and boards. That experience enables us to understand not only the position being filled, but the commercial circumstances surrounding the appointment.
If you are considering a board or C-suite appointment, we would welcome a confidential conversation about your requirements.
