How & What

A Consultative Approach,

Our approach is consultative from the outset. We deliver retained and multi-hire mandates that de-risk hiring decisions through market-calibrated, founder-driven research, structured assessment, and disciplined execution.

Every engagement is anchored in aligning strategy to our client, with optionality for role scorecards, structured functional and behavioural assessment, rigorous referencing, and post-placement integration check-ins.

Freddie Moore

Founder & Director

Freddie established and launched Keythorpe Partners in July 2020 — a bold moment to start a business, and one that proved the founding belief that opportunity arises from uncertainty.

He is known for his high-trust relationships, progressive delivery, and an advisory approach that pairs clients and candidates with the facts needed to make an informed decision. Before founding Keythorpe Partners, Freddie held senior positions with established global real estate recruitment businesses, including Redpath Partners and Macdonald & Company in London — building the European footprint for Investment and Capital Market coverage.

Freddie also established the private equity practice for a global energy recruitment business in Houston, Texas. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Economics & Geography from the University of Reading.

Keythorpe Partners understands that the world is changing fast and that we too must adapt to stay current — regularly engaging with a network that extends beyond real estate, so that constructive and informed insights reach every stakeholder.
