ABOUT US
Patrick has been introducing great candidates to great companies in the world of ecommerce and digital marketing for almost 20 years. Hannington Tame’s sister company Beringer Tame was set up in 2005 when ‘Webmaster’ was still a job title. Since then, Patrick has built some of the most successful eCommerce teams in the UK and Europe and is proud to have played a small, but important, part in the UK’s eCommerce success. Many of the people he placed in his early years have gone on to board-level appointments and so…
James started Hannington Tame alongside Patrick in 2013 to provide an executive search function for Patrick’s more senior relationships. James’s business network started in the dot-com boom when he played host to organisations such as the IAB and Doubleclick at his private members’ club, Adam Street. He has enjoyed a ring-side seat as the ‘corporate entrepreneurs’ of digital leadership have enabled the disruption and dynamism of the 21st century economy.
Candidates
At the heart of our business is a group of exceptional candidates. These are people who manage the commercial interface between humans and technology. By setting the fixed star of brand identity and harnessing the power of data, they navigate the channel-shifting sands of ecommerce and digital marketing. They are dynamic, calculated risk-takers and persuasive advocates of adapting business to serve customers in the 21st century.
Cliched (but true)
We love what we do. As the senior ecommerce executive search specialists, we have the enormous privilege of witnessing the challenges and pain points of successful companies and enjoy the rigour of finding the perfect human solution to those problems.
Something more original
We are a small but focused team of digital leadership headhunters. As a client or candidate, you will get our full attention. Because our sister company Beringer Tame handles junior roles we have a unique perspective on c-suite team builds, trends and an ability to 360 review technology, tactics and referencing.
OUR TEAM
Patrick began his career as a headhunter after leaving the Army in 2003. He quickly made a name for himself as a recruiter in what was then an emerging digital and ecommerce market, founding the successful recruitment firm Beringer Tame, of which he is still a Director. Things have moved on a bit since the wild-west days of dial up and wap and as the market has grown, more space has been made in the board room for digital and e-commerce leaders. Patrick has increasingly been asked to lead senior level search assignments and now works exclusively on ‘C’ level retained search.
Outside of Hannington Tame, Patrick enjoys paragliding and paramotoring (he can often be seen in the skies over Hampshire), riding horses and messing about on boats. Patrick also plays in a band, is a director of the London Mozart Symphony Orchestra and volunteers as a Princes Trust mentor.

Partner
James joined the Royal Navy straight after school and was sponsored through Durham University. On leaving the RN in 1999, he set up one of London’s first serviced offices in the midst of the dotcom boom. By 2001 he had turned the basement into Adam Street Private Members' Club - London’s first club for entrepreneurs. Adam Street's membership was dominated by the tech scene and given James passion for making great connections it was a natural move to join Patrick's team in 2013.
Outside of the tech/entrepreneur world, James reopened the famous music venue The Tabernacle in Notting Hill and assuages his love for the sea/mid-life crisis by dinghy racing. He now also admits to being an over-zealous MAMIL.
