Justin Carpenter joins Bailey Fisher as a Partner

We're delighted to announced that Justin Carpenter has joined Bailey Fisher as a Partner to head up our Manchester office. 

Justin brings over 25 years’ experience within executive search in technology and life sciences, working throughout the UK, Europe and US.  

Justin has worked with clients ranging from very early stage start ups through to publicly listed organisations, across many different sectors, including Medtech, Pharma, and Industrial Automation.  He has a particular interest in emerging technologies, and an educational background in Mathematics, and has recruited in Data, Big Data and AI. Justin takes a highly consultative approach to fully understand his clients' overall strategy and goals, and believes strongly in data-based recruitment, sharing market intelligence throughout a search to attain the best possible outcomes. 

Prior to relocating back to the Northwest, Justin spent most of his working life in London but has also lived in Spain and Toronto. 

Andrew Moore, Managing Partner, says “It’s a truly exciting time for us. We’ve been working with companies across the North West for some time and have been looking for someone to lead an office for us there.  In Justin, we’ve found the right person.” 

Toby Young, Managing Partner adds “Manchester is now second only to London in number of tech start ups. The area is seeing increased investment, with new ventures such as Northern Gritstone founded last year to catalyse the commercialisation of IP-rich tech companies in the North. We’ve been working with tech businesses in the area for some time, and we’re excited about being able to help more clients as they build the teams they need for growth. We’re delighted to welcome Justin to the Bailey Fisher team as our lead in the region.”

Justin says "The North West tech ecosystem is poised for explosive growth, with Manchester at the heart of the action. Bailey Fisher has been one of the leading executive search firms working with IP rich UK growth companies and I look forward to continuing this work with clients across the country.”
