Oli Lampkin

Oli began life as a professional golfer at the prestigious Coombe Hill Golf Club in Surrey before discovering recruitment where he served 11 years with a well-known competitor where he was consistently recognised as one of the business’s top performers. Oli forged his career in London, developing a reputation for his expertise and the depth of his long-term relationships across the Media, Publishing and Leisure sectors. Oli heads up practice in the North working with an exceptional network of senior finance talent at the CFO and Director levels across all sectors including both a wide range of SME and multi-national business.

As many of his long term contacts will attest, Oli has mastered the art of integrating his passion for golf with his passion for networking. When not in the office, on the golf course, or in a city restaurant, Oli can be found at home embracing the joys of parenthood with partner Sasha and children Esme and Reggie.
