About Carlyle Associates

Carlyle Associates, trading as Carlyle, is an independent search practice set up in 2002 to find senior executives and board members. It runs its work from offices in Edinburgh and London and takes on assignments with national and international reach, putting time into each client to shape a tailored search.

  • Research and market intelligence — market mapping on competitors, how a role is seen, pay and mobility.
