The County Register was founded in 1991 by Heather Heber-Percy. She and her daughter Tamara run the business with a small, dedicated team.

Heather Heber-Percy is one of Britain’s foremost introduction agency specialists. She set up a small agency in Herefordshire in 1986 which quickly grew to national coverage within 3 years. From the beginning, she based her service on personal interviews rather than ‘matching’ people through questionnaires or computer databases. In 1991, she sold the business to concentrate on providing the more in-depth search process offered by County Register.

Her years in the business have given her tremendous insights into human relationships. She uses these, together with her sympathetic interviewing skills, to gain a clear understanding of her clients’ needs. And thus match them with suitable partners.

Her expertise and knowledge means that she is often called upon for professional opinion and comment by the national press and media. She has been a member of the Association of British Introduction Agencies since 1987 and is currently their Chairman.

Tamara has been working with The County Register since 2001. She graduated from Oxford with a degree in languages then left the UK for a year in Brazil, where she launched a new energy drink. She has worked as a marketing consultant for international brands but soon realised that she wanted a more personal and fulfilling role and so she left the corporate world in 2001 to help grow the personal search side of The County Register with her mother.
