I am Founding Director of Paul Harper Search, one of the UK’s longest established Financial Services Executive Search specialists. For 25 years I have been helping Financial Services businesses grow through hiring outstanding senior Directors and Managers and acquiring clients and businesses. I also helps IFA Business Owners seeking to manage their exit through sale. I am a Chartered Insurer and qualified as a Financial Planner. Recently I became a bestselling author of MY book “Reinventing the Financial Advice Profession - From Commission Driven Salespeople To Multi-Million Pound Businesses”. This book recently topped the Amazon Personal Finance and Retirement Finance Best seller lists. I spent over 15 years in the corporate world, working in Senior Sales, Distribution and Management roles for NatWest, Legal & General and Eagle Star (now Zurich). I then moved into the Executive Search industry in 1998. I founded Paul Harper Search in 1999 and more recently added Paul Harper M&A and Paul Harper Consulting to my stable of businesses. Paul Harper Search is a member of the REC, and I am a previous Chair of the Association of Executive Recruiters (AER). I am a frequent and active participator in industry debates on subjects such as salaries, wider remuneration and training . I strongly believes that Financial Advice is a profession to be proud of.

Paul Harper Search is a team of highly skilled Financial Services recruiters. As a Financial Services specialist headhunter we can ensure a greater understanding of industry trends, the effect of new legislation and, most of all, how they impact on the people employed in the industry.   

Day-to-day, I attracted talented individuals to join our Financial Adviser community. I've spent a decade working in marketing and financial services, having joined as an apprentice. I'm also a keen walker, aiming to visit 30 countries before I age 30 years, and an Arsenal Football fan. 

I have enjoyed 30 years working in financial services with some of the largest companies. Having been an adviser, I know what it takes to be successful and have helped many others achieve success.  I am delighted to be leading the Quilter Academy to help the next generation of financial advisers navigate their way to a successful and rewarding career.
