Catherine Price

Catherine Price
Partner Catherine Price is a senior human resources practitioner with particular expertise in assessment centre design and delivery.
She is qualified in psychometric testing and has wide experience of recruiting to managerial, scientific, engineering, IT, financial, administrative and clerical posts.

After an early career in the Civil Service fast-stream at the headquarters of the Department of Health and Social Security in London, Catherine joined the research councils in Swindon in 1985. She held a number of positions in line, project and personnel management and became the first Head of Personnel Management Services for the newly formed Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) when it came into being in 1994.

In that role, she reviewed and modernised the personnel function, in particular in the fields of recruitment, performance management and manpower planning. She managed successfully a significant reduction in staff through voluntary redundancy programmes.

In 2001, Catherine left the research councils to establish The Moor House Partnership, an independent HR and communications consultancy, with her husband Nigel. Based in North Wiltshire, the consultancy provides recruitment and outplacement services, and psychometric assessments, to a wide range of clients in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

Catherine also works as an associate recruitment consultant with a number of bodies including the AoCMS Ltd, which provides a recruitment and assessment service to the Further Education sector, Barker’s CMA, MDN Fusion Ltd and Nelson Griffiths. She works extensively in the NHS as an independent assessor for the Appointments Commission.

She works as an outplacement consultant with Connect and Ceridian.

Catherine is a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and is an active member of its local branch network for independent practitioners.

"Catherine Price is a first rate professional, very knowledgeable and highly credible with both clients and candidates."

Phil Griffiths,
The Connect Team Ltd



"We decided to ask the advice of a local recruitment consultant, Catherine Price, of The Moor House Partnership... This saved us time because she helped us to focus on what needed to be done... We gained expert advice and a tailor-made assessment process."
