Welcome to Ransley Boardman

We’re an executive search and consultancy firm focused on strengthening local government leadership through thoughtful, values-led appointments.

Our ethos combines partnership, insight, and persistence, and we’re intentional about widening access to leadership opportunities. We work with our clients by listening carefully, testing ideas, and refining solutions before presenting their offer to the sector.

We care deeply about local government and the role we play in matching the right people to the right leadership teams. Our long-standing expertise in supporting local authorities with executive appointments shines through in all we do. We bring positivity, energy, and determination to every assignment, and our love for our work is evident even in the most challenging of briefs.

About us

Penny and Jo have worked together since 2005, initially as consultants in KPMG’s public sector executive search business. They went on to join Saxton Bampfylde and later GatenbySanderson, working as a strong client-facing and research duo, before continuing their collaboration in their last search firm where Penny established the local government practice.
