One focus: unlocking the potential of your people.

Russell Webb, owner of Claverdon Consulting

My career has taken me from leading recruitment teams and building high-performing sales cultures to becoming SThree's first Performance Coach, supporting consultants and leaders across the UK, Europe and North America. Since relocating to Australia, I've worked alongside recruitment businesses of every size, helping founders, leaders and consultants improve capability, consistency and commercial performance.

I founded Claverdon Consulting because I believe recruitment development should be practical, commercially relevant and measurable. Not simply provide an enjoyable day of training. I don't see myself as an external trainer. I'm a trusted partner, working alongside your business to help your people perform at a higher level.

The Claverdon Values

Today I work closely with recruitment businesses to strengthen leadership capability, improve consultant performance and create cultures where accountability, confidence and continuous improvement become part of everyday working life.

Everything I do is built around three core values:

Trusted relationships built on honesty, credibility and genuine recruitment experience.

Authenticity

Clarity, ownership and measurable actions that create lasting change.

Accountability

Every programme supports both your people's development and your commercial goals.

Alignment

Why ‘Claverdon’?

People often ask where the name comes from.

My career in learning and development began with a simple focus: working alongside recruitment consultants, helping them build their skills, their confidence and their commercial performance. As my career grew into senior operational leadership, running teams, budgets and business performance, I realised the work I found most rewarding was still the same: working directly with people to unlock their potential.

“Claverdon Drive is the street where I was born. Choosing the name was a return to my roots. Back to what first inspired my career.

In many ways, Claverdon Consulting isn't a new beginning. It's a return to where it all started.”
