Performance · Leadership · Potential
We believe all businesses are people businesses, no matter what they make or do. And that getting the right people, into the right roles, with the right balance of experience and room for growth, is the ultimate determinator of success.
That doesn’t just mean taking the time to hire well. It means understanding the cultural context, vision and strategic objectives, diversity of thought, and strengths and weaknesses of the wider team. As well as KPIs for success and potential paths for development.

Which is why the best performance leaders come to us to debate their performance questions, and join our forums to share insight and learnings across sport, industry and geographical lines.
Debbie Cook – CEO, Grimsby Town F.C.
David Lee – Sporting Director, New York City Football Club
We had hit a dead end in the more traditional methods of recruiting for a specific role so we turned to David and Anna at EPP, who I had successfully used at The FA.
After speaking with them and being asked some quality questions on what we actually wanted and needed, we adjusted the structure, clarified the roles and adjusted our ideas. David and Anna then confidentially searched the market, kept to the timelines, scope and budget and helped secure two outstanding candidates that are now embedded at our Club.
They helped, supported and challenged throughout the whole process, are always on hand to help and I would not hesitate to recommend them and use them again.
Dan Ashworth – Technical Director, Brighton and Hove Albion
We chose EPP to lead our senior coaching and performance leadership searches at the LTA because David and Anna have a strong understanding of the demands of elite sport and, the leadership capabilities required to create positive environments in which professional players will thrive. They conducted rigorous global searches and left no stone unturned to find us the right candidates to match our brief.
