“Alice helped me make no fewer than four senior appointments in my first two years at North London Collegiate School. On each occasion she put a strong and diverse field forward with candidates from a range of interesting professional backgrounds. She was meticulous and highly professional in all her work and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She offers a bespoke and agile service and has an excellent track record of success.”

Headmistress, North London Collegiate School
“It has been a pleasure to work with Ashmore Search. Alice works with great commitment and genuinely leaves no stone unturned! Perhaps most importantly, she made sure that she developed a strong understanding of the school’s specific needs and showed excellent judgment in the candidates she put forward. And even with a tight timeframe, all the administrative elements of our appointment were delivered faultlessly and to schedule.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Alice Speers on a number of senior appointments. Alice brings not only a wealth of experience from the education sector, but a genuine commitment to understanding the ethos, values, and ambitions of the school. Her approach is thoughtful, thorough, and highly personalised. One of the aspects that truly sets Alice apart is the time she invests in getting to know the school community. This insight enables her to support both the school and the candidates with equal care and professionalism throughout the recruitment process. Her personable manner, attention to detail, and consistent follow-up – even after appointments are made – make her a trusted and valued partner. I would not hesitate to recommend Alice to any school seeking leadership talent.”
