The ICP Way

Great people are hard to find. We find them.

We help clubs, leagues, federations, rights holders, venues, media and technology businesses find exceptional talent.

Our Vision? That's easy.

To be the most trusted search partner in modern sport.

About us

We love sport. Always have

Sport is changing quickly. It is more connected, more commercial and more technologically advanced than ever. But it is still driven by people: leaders making difficult calls, teams finding a way under pressure and organisations trying to build something that lasts.

For 25 years, ICP has worked across that world, from dressing rooms and boardrooms to venues, media and technology. We help organisations find senior leaders and specialist talent with the experience, judgement and character to make a difference.

We know the right person can change a season, bring a team together or give an organisation the confidence to move forward. That is what we do.

Our Values

What does ICP stand for?

Impact

Impact

The person we place makes the difference, not us, and we never lose sight of that. But we own the choice completely. Get it right and we have done our job well; get it wrong and that is on us.

Culture

Culture

Culture is people. We treat everyone as a person, never a name on a CV. We tell the truth, even when it costs us the business. That, to us, is respect. Everything we do rests on trust, and we protect it above all else.

Performance

Performance

Good enough is a quiet kind of failure, and we will not have it. We are relentless, always asking questions everyone else skipped. We do not pretend to have all the answers, and every search teaches us something new.

About us

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Sport has made progress, but its leadership still does not fully reflect the athletes, audiences and communities it serves.

We build diverse shortlists into every search, looking across gender, ethnicity, background and career path. We also challenge criteria that narrow the field without good reason. Inclusion must start with the brief, not at the end of the process.

We love the communities we work in.

So much so we created 'Dare to Dream'

Founded by Gary and Kate Peters, the incredible Love Local Jobs Foundation gives young people access to the people, confidence and opportunities that can positively shape their future. Through its Dare to Dream programme, the team brings voices from sport and business into schools and communities, showing young people what is possible and giving them the belief and the tools to reach their potential.
