Liz gets it done with class.

Liz Bawden
Managing Director

My approach in work and life is person-centred, so I consider that my success in the search and recruitment landscape is rooted in being a values-led person. The synergistic nature of this is hugely motivational for me, and is reflected in the intimate and distinct nature of Terranora Search.

2020 brought about the genesis of my firm, drawing on a background of top-tier executive search and mid-tier recruitment. This industry is built on relationships, and I have had the good fortune to build them across this country. I am committed to excellence and I deliver at the highest standards, which have earned me a reputation as a trusted partner to organisations across a variety of industries. But it is my personal connection to the social impact sector, particularly ESG causes, which reinforces my commitment to our values.

Inclusivity and integrity are the guiding principles which inform my work ethic. Put simply, I believe that embracing and celebrating all that we are as people in the world holds immense potential to generate transformative outcomes. It’s why I approach search and recruitment with an open mind, embracing new ideas and perspectives that can contribute to meaningful progress, and I learn every day. My passion for my work is genuine, and I am fortunate to find it deeply engaging and fulfilling.

And I take frequent breaks for cake.

Let’s Connect

Our Values

Courageous Innovation

The nexus between courage and innovation is risk. It begins with an idea, nurtured and brought to life by those who possess the bravery to pursue it. We enjoy a willingness to explore new territory by taking calculated, values-led risks and creating novel solutions that add real value in unique and meaningful ways.

Honest Stewardship

At the heart of our work lies the privilege of being entrusted with the search lifecycle and facilitating the new frontiers for professional leaders. We approach this responsibility with humility and reverence, understanding that our reputation is integral to delivering exceptional service.

Radical Candour

We like to think the relationships we develop reflect who we are: true and genuine. They are built to navigate complex discussions and sometimes new and surprising ground. Our commitment to conversing openly, empathetically and sincerely underpins our long lasting and truly enjoyable partnerships. It may not be radical like the 80s, but it is radical in business.

Partnership and Collaboration

We recognise the transformative power of collective genius. We say we offer partnership and collaboration, but our ethos is to go one step further: we seek it out. As dedicated ambassadors for our clients and candidates, we are proud that human connection and a person-centred approach is at the fore of what we do. We know that a job done well involves everyone at the table.
