        Andrew Broster

        Andrew Broster

        CEO & Founder | Professional Recruitment & Consultancy | UK

        About Andrew

        Andrew Broster is the Founder and CEO of Broster Buchanan, a senior-led recruitment and consultancy firm operating across the UK. With over 20 years’ experience in professional recruitment, he works closely with organisations navigating growth, transformation and leadership hiring.

        With over 20 years’ experience in professional recruitment, Andrew has led regions and teams across global firms including Michael Page and Robert Walters before establishing Broster Buchanan in 2015. His career exposed him to both the strengths and shortcomings of the sector, and it was this insight that shaped a different kind of consultancy – one founded upon a clear conviction: recruitment should be built on experience, trust and long-term value – not volume or transactions.

        His decision to step away from the corporate model was driven by a desire to build a business that put people – clients, candidates and colleagues – first.

        Andrew believes people are the most important asset in any organisation. He is passionate about ensuring that clients receive informed, experience-led guidance, and that professionals are supported through career decisions with care, honesty and context. His role, now, is focused on ensuring that every client engagement benefits from experienced oversight, combining market knowledge with a long-term, partnership-led approach to hiring.

        Andrew’s founding principles and the story behind Broster Buchanan are explored further in Our Story on our About Us page.


        Leadership & Approach

        Andrew’s role is centred on building and leading a consultancy where expertise matters. He is firmly committed to hiring experienced directors and consultants, ensuring every assignment is overseen by people who truly understand their recruitment markets.

        This approach allows Broster Buchanan to deliver:

        • Insight-led recruitment rather than CV matching

        • Long-term partnerships instead of one-off placements

        • Consistent quality across all regions and service lines


        Sector & Business Focus

        Andrew works across and oversees recruitment and consultancy delivery spanning Andrew oversees recruitment and consultancy delivery across executive search, finance leadership, Business Transformation, and strategic consultancy projects.

        He partners with organisations of all sizes and complexities across the UK, supporting growth, transformation and leadership capability.


        Career Highlights

        • Founder & CEO of Broster Buchanan (est. 2015), now with 9 offices across the UK

        • Former Operating Director / Regional Director roles at Michael Page and Robert Walters

        • Built a senior-led consultancy model focused on experience, delivery and quality

        • CEO of Orbbis, delivering practitioner-led management consultancy and transformation


        In Andrew’s Words

        “Recruitment should never be transactional. It’s about understanding people, organisations and long-term goals – and delivering real value on both sides.”

        “Experience matters. When people trust you with their careers or their teams, they deserve informed advice and a genuine commitment to doing things properly.”

        Lucy Rider helped Opera North replace an exceptional Finance Director, and she couldn't have been more responsive. She instinctively understood the nature of third-sector work (and budgets) and her extraordinary network, particularly of people in and around Leeds or wishing to relocate here, led us to some really interesting candidates. One has the sense that she's invested in individuals for the long term, not just that she's trying to make the sale - all suggestions are thoughtful and personal. I would definitely use her again.

        We recently worked with Lucy Rider on the appointment of a Head of Finance. Lucy was exceptional. What stood out for me is that she really listened to what we needed, understood the charity and the work involved and took the time to find the right candidate. We received a very significant number of applications and Lucy balanced a pragmatic approach to making sure she found the right candidate and treating each candidate with real care and attention, but also was sensible in her use of time and gave us a well considered, concise short list. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Lucy again (and I've worked with lots of recruitment agents in the region) - she stands out for her personal integrity and empathetic nature but the wits and skill to find right candidates for the role.
        For Lucy Ryder I had an excellent experience working with Lucy. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. As this was the first time in many years looking for a new position, I was a little nervous. She quickly put me at ease, gave me confidence and always available for any questions. Communication was great and I was always fully informed about the process of my applications. Thanks to Lucy I secured a new role which I’m happy with and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.

        Working with Lucy has been a fantastic experience! After three difficult months following a redundancy, she helped me land a brilliant temporary role in a amazing company and is currently supporting me in securing a permanent public sector job. What sets Lucy apart is her she takes the time to meet you in person to truly understand your career goals and what you’re looking for. She is exceptionally supportive, professional, and effective. If you’re searching for your next role, you couldn't be in better hands. Thank you so much for everything, Lucy

        Andrew Broster

        CEO & Founder | Professional Recruitment & Consultancy | UK

        About Andrew

        Andrew Broster is the Founder and CEO of Broster Buchanan, a senior-led recruitment and consultancy firm operating across the UK. With over 20 years’ experience in professional recruitment, he works closely with organisations navigating growth, transformation and leadership hiring.

        With over 20 years’ experience in professional recruitment, Andrew has led regions and teams across global firms including Michael Page and Robert Walters before establishing Broster Buchanan in 2015. His career exposed him to both the strengths and shortcomings of the sector, and it was this insight that shaped a different kind of consultancy – one founded upon a clear conviction: recruitment should be built on experience, trust and long-term value – not volume or transactions.

        His decision to step away from the corporate model was driven by a desire to build a business that put people – clients, candidates and colleagues – first.

        Andrew believes people are the most important asset in any organisation. He is passionate about ensuring that clients receive informed, experience-led guidance, and that professionals are supported through career decisions with care, honesty and context. His role, now, is focused on ensuring that every client engagement benefits from experienced oversight, combining market knowledge with a long-term, partnership-led approach to hiring.
