“As we approach the seventh anniversary of Wild Search, we remain committed both to developing the range of clients we serve and improving the service and processes for those with which we already have established relationships. Peter’s range of experience and contacts will enhance and enrich our work within our areas of specialism and expertise. I am confident that he will become a valued member of the team as we continue to grow organically with a focus on education and charities, yet with a longstanding interest in the rural economy”.
Peter Waine said:
“I was delighted to accept the invitation to become the first Chair of Wild Search. Since becoming aware the business I have been impressed by both the quality of the team and the work which they undertake. The business has a fascinating range of clients and a growing number return for further requirements. I hope that I will be able to make a distinct contribution to making Wild Search an even better business for all who engage with it.”
