Business Services
Hudson Walker International was established in London in 1993 and since then we have built long term partnerships with some of the world’s most prestigious brands – from large corporates with a global presence to private equity-backed brands and founder-led businesses across luxury lifestyle services, travel, hospitality, fashion, interiors, footwear, accessories, fine jewellery and watches, fragrance and beauty. By securing for them exceptionally talented individuals, we have helped shape their growth and success.
Our business ethos is free of corporate frills: simply put, Hudson Walker International promotes integrity and fair value in the delivery of our mandates. Our clients, and the individuals we approach to join them, are safe in the knowledge that discretion and confidentiality are our watchwords. We believe that there should be no exceptions whatsoever to honesty and integrity.
At the heart of our business is Executive Search which offers clients a full retained and exclusive executive search service with penetrative research, confidential networking, market analysis and strategic talent acquisition. This is recommended for leadership and board level positions, where confidentiality is paramount, where the role is complex or a rare mix of skills is sought, or where there may only be a few suitable candidates in a particular sector.
We also offer a non-retained, multi-solution contingency service that allows agility, flexibility and speed and which may be appropriate when there are likely to be more candidates qualified for a particular position, middle-management roles or when a client wants to take more responsibility for screening, interviewing and negotiating with candidates.
Hudson Walker International is based at The Clubhouse in St James’s Square, and we are delighted to count amongst our neighbours many prominent businesses and corporate headquarters, together with internationally renowned art galleries, vintners, auction houses, theatres, chic hotels and exclusive boutiques, many of whom are Royal Warrant holders. St James’s has a justified reputation as London’s showcase of the best in modern heritage and luxury craftsmanship.
The company has two lines of business:
1 – Assisting former military and intelligence personnel in the transition to working in the private sector. Mitmark can either directly employ such veterans, place them within client companies or even help them create their own company.
2 – Consultants to business and government in operational auditing and risk mitigation in complex operating environments.
MITMARK is an acronym for Military to Market and is a corporate security & intelligence firm to Governments, multi-national corporations and private clients. The company specialises in security advisory services, intelligence-lead project and logistics management services. The firm employs business leaders, oil/mining/processing/rail veterans, ex-intelligence and special-forces personnel. The company assesses, creates and implements project, security and risk management strategies that are individually tailored to the specific client’s needs based upon the local dynamics of the region they operate in.
