The Story Behind The Wave

Boxing Day 2004, Gareth, the founder of Wave Search was staying on the National Marine Park, Koh Surin off the Andaman coast of Thailand. That fateful morning, following a huge earthquake in Indonesia, a Tsunami swept through the region killing thousands of people.

Koh Surin was hit hard by the Tsunami and despite being washed away in the waves, Gareth and wife Annie managed to survive against all odds.

11 years later, when Gareth and Annie founded the company, they named it Wave, in memory of this life changing event. Wave represents the resilience and spirit it takes to build something from the ground up, even in the most challenging times.

Our Values Genuinely Represent How We Do Business

Our story began because we survived something truly life-changing. Challenges and change are inevitable. It’s how we handle them that defines us.

Even in the most challenging of times, there is an opportunity to build something unique and special, and find a new and better way forward. Our values represent how we do business.

  • We welcome the exchange of ideas and work together to deliver our clients’ ambitions and our own.

  • We band together to overcome challenges, and find new and innovative ways of working. We don’t fear change, we embrace it.

  • We’re invested in a culture and environment where our people are empowered with ownership and trusted to deliver.

  • We’re open minded and believe in doing things differently. We seize opportunities and actively seek change so we can always deliver better for our clients.

  • We all see the world differently and that’s a gift. We value fresh perspectives and welcome every voice.

In our quest to supply the highest level of service excellence to our partners and candidates, Wave Search is now proud to be a member of the REC (Recruitment & Employment Confederation).

Our membership will help ensure our end-to-end recruiting process adheres to all legal requirements, best practices and consistently provides the best experience and results.
