Many executives reach a stage when they want to be stretched in ways that their employers cannot alone provide. This presents an organisational conundrum – should such people be encouraged to leave and work elsewhere, or be kept on, in the knowledge that they have reached their limits, and may now simply stagnate?

Holywell acts as a facilitator of short term executive postings. Through our extensive networks we offer programmes of executive experiences that deliver challenging, stimulating, fresh environments. For host organisations the introduction of new perspectives and short term energy can lead to valuable benefits.

We have found that executives at commercial organisations are attracted to not-for-profit, public sector and smaller, entrepreneurial organisations. The option of an assignment abroad is also appealing.
