Headford Group

Headford Group was launched by Craig Headford in 2009; third-party company profiles list the business as established in 2010. It is headquartered in Bristol and operates across recruitment, mergers and acquisitions, marketing and media, and corporate finance for freight-forwarding and logistics businesses.

Its recruitment arm focuses on senior appointments, sales, account management, HR, procurement, and middle-management roles. Its M&A businesses advise owners on acquisitions, exits, growth funding, management buyouts, investor introductions, and confidential deal sourcing.

The firm’s clearest strength is specialist freight-sector knowledge: its website cites more than 75 years of collective experience across freight forwarding, courier, shipping, and supply-chain services. For students, the careers site indicates opportunities spanning recruitment consulting, M&A advisory, and corporate finance rather than a conventional large-bank graduate structure.
