A new chapter for Charisma

We’re delighted to announce that Executive Director Adam Stacey, who has been on the management team at Charisma for almost three years, has acquired the company and will continue to lead the business with the same values-driven approach that the team have delivered since 2002.

We have some exciting news to share with you.

Jenny Warner founded Charisma 20 years ago and has grown the business to be one of the most respected recruitment consultancies in the charity and not-for-profit sectors in the UK. Jenny has decided that now is the right time for her to hand over the management of Charisma to ensure its continued development and growth.

We’re delighted to announce that Executive Director Adam Stacey, who has been on the management team at Charisma for almost three years, has acquired the company and will continue to lead the business with the same values-driven approach that Jenny and the team have delivered since 2002.

Jenny will remain in an advisory role with Charisma and our team will continue to provide the same high-quality and personal service that we've always delivered.

Jenny said, “it has been such a privilege to support countless charities and not-for-profit organisations, getting to know so many people and I can honestly say that it has been a joy to see them flourish in a wide variety of inspirational charities. I am indebted to the support and dedication of the Charisma team over the last 20 years, all of whom have played a critical part in the success of the business.

I am very proud of what we have achieved, and I know that, in Adam, the business is in safe hands and will continue to thrive under his leadership.”

Adam has been on the management team at Charisma for nearly three years, supporting Jenny in the direction of the business and successfully recruiting for multiple roles across the sector. Adam worked in the charity sector as a development director and CEO before joining Charisma, and he continues to be a charity trustee and Chartered Member of the Institute of Fundraising.

Adam says, “Jenny’s invitation to acquire Charisma is an exciting opportunity for me. Charisma is a values-led business that strives to achieve the best results possible for our clients and candidates, it truly is a special company to be a part of and now lead.

The team is exceptional, settled and ready to journey into the next chapter of Charisma’s history. Together, we are excited for what lies ahead and will continue to support the sector with the best possible service.”

Adam became Managing Director with effect from 1 May 2022 and can be contacted on 01962 813300, on LinkedIn or via our online form.
