Tim Hedger Founder & COO

Tim is a graduate of Politics from Essex University who joined Marks Sattin, a then small accountancy recruitment firm in their first drive to hire graduate trainees and became immediately fascinated in dealing with different businesses and understanding what made them successful and unique. Working closely with friend and colleague Dave Way, he rose quickly through the management ranks as Marks Sattin grew from a small business into largest dedicated accountancy recruiter in the UK.

Co-founder of HedgerWay, Tim reunites with his friend and former colleague, to take everything they have learned, unlearn it and reapply their knowledge and experience into a new recruitment business. Tim believes passionately in building and offering that will focus on delivering an exceptional experience to talent in the finance community; candidate, clients and recruiters. 

Tim brings over 18 years of Financial Recruitment to the business with both a proven track record of leadership and team development. He prides himself on his ability to understand and deliver on challenging finance mandates having worked with a wide variety of financial services clients, across the banking and the investment management community. 

When Tim is not at his desk, running between meetings or entertaining somewhere in the city, he can be found with his two boys, Fraser and Frank, who have trained him well in the art of chauffer driving and share his sense of adventure, a love of all active sports and a good dose of mischief.
