JONATHAN RICHARDSON · DEPUTY MANAGING DIRECTOR

From Islington to 33 years powering media, events & communications recruitment.

Established in 1992 in London, Media Contacts began as a specialist media sales and editorial recruiter, navigating three decades of media evolution from print publishing to real-time financial business intelligence and digital corporate communications.

As Deputy Managing Director, Jonathan Richardson directs executive commercial search across conferences, large-scale exhibitions, digital media, and business intelligence—partnering with Group Founder Rupert Wallis and Healthcare Director Julia Walton to run a boutique powerhouse out of The Windsor Centre in Islington.

With an audited balance sheet showing £297k in liquid current assets, trade debtors growing +17.9% YoY to £116.5k, and zero commercial bank debt, Media Contacts combines 33 years of institutional relationship equity with agile contingent and retained executive search.

Today, whether placing senior TMT communications directors at Brunswick, healthcare advocates at Burson, or global summit producers at Informa, Jonathan and the Media Contacts team prove that deep sector specialization and long-term partnership always outperform transactional recruitment.
