Bob Thorpe has more than 25 years experience in executive search and selection and has resourced directors, managers and specialist experts across most functions. His clients include major blue-chip and SME organisations in the UK, Europe and worldwide in aerospace, automotive, construction products, consumer healthcare,  engineering & manufacturing, oil & gas, petrochemicals,  pharmaceuticals and supply chain.

Before joining Kilpatrick, Bob spent over 17 years as a Director of one of the UK's longest established, independent executive search and selection businesses. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute.

Kilpatrick provides a targeted approach to search and selection, recruiting high calibre executives and specialists in the UK, Europe and internationally. We help our clients pin point, attract and retain the very best people, often with rare skill sets, to fulfil critical roles within their organisations. Founded in 1999 by Robert Kilpatrick, a former Director of one of the UK’s leading recruitment companies, our aim is to help global organisations and SMEs fill strategically important jobs in the salary range £50,000 - £250,000. We combine the professional standards normally associated with a large firm with the flexibility and personal approach of a smaller business. We have the capability and resources to take on and see to successful conclusion the most challenging of assignments. Kilpatrick conducts pan-European and international recruitment campaigns, as the UK partner of IESF. Retention is the key measure of our success. Over 90% of our candidates stay with the client for more than three years; many remain much longer and are promoted to larger roles. We offer a tailored, consultative and partnership approach to our work. Fee structures are cost effective and reflect the size and complexity of projects and the amount of work involved.
