About Fram Search: Specialist Financial Services Recruiters
Fram Search is a privately owned specialist financial services recruitment consultancy, helping clients across wealth management, asset management, venture capital, debt and capital solutions, and selected financial technology markets. We combine executive search expertise with deep sector knowledge to deliver mid-to-senior appointments across the UK.
We are best known for wealth management recruitment, sourcing advisers, paraplanners and leadership hires for firms across the UK. Our asset management and venture capital practices are built on deep, long standing sector relationships, and our debt and capital solutions team covers specialist finance and asset finance appointments.
Founded in 2010, Fram Search works with ambitious SMEs, established regulated firms and selected listed businesses, typically with headcounts of up to 500 employees. We recruit predominantly at experienced hire, leadership and executive level, from specialist professionals through to the C-suite of smaller firms.
We offer both retained executive search and contingent recruitment, built around proven headhunting methodology, established databases and extensive networks. Much of the best talent in financial services is not actively job hunting, so we invest real effort in reaching passive candidates rather than relying on job adverts.
Our track record includes GDPR compliant market mapping, confidential senior appointments, and successful team moves and build outs. We are led by founder Simon Roderick, who has 25 years of experience in financial services recruitment and regularly comments in the trade media. Fram has no external shareholders, so every decision is made with long term client and candidate relationships in mind, not short term targets.
We take diversity, equity and inclusion seriously, and we work UK wide, often outside standard hours, to support clients and candidates properly.

When your business is a boutique, which focusses on delivering exceptional client service the cultural fit of candidates is paramount. For a recruitment partner to deliver on this they need to have a thorough and deep understanding of, and empathy with, their clients’ business and management.
Simon and the team at Fram go out of their way to deliver on this and succeed.
What was Fram?
Fram was the strongest wooden ship ever built and was used by the revered Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen for their polar expeditions.
Just as with our name-sake, we believe pioneering thought, attention to detail, and a robust but flexible culture are qualities to aspire to. It also happens to be an abbreviation of our founder’s alma mater.
Victory awaits him who has everything in order – luck, people call it.
Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck.
