HW Global expands Manchester and Leeds office

Recruiter HW Global has expanded its offices in Manchester, Leeds and London as it expects to double headcount.

The group has relocated its Manchester and Leeds operations to ‘significantly larger’ tech-enabled space, allowing them to accommodate additional staff in state-of-the-art offices.

HW Global has moved to Worthington House in Didsbury’s Towers Business Park, its home for the past 10 years.

It has also relocated its office within Bruntwood Works’ 14 King Street building in Leeds city centre – providing a combined 55% increase in floorspace.

The executive search company services clients globally and operates several brands including HW Global and HW Interim, its Exec Search practices, HW People which was launched in May, Zebra People – a digital recruitment specialist and Osmii – a development, cloud and digital specialist that HW acquired in December 2021.

The group now boasts a £30m plus turnover with colleagues across the UK.

Spencer Jinks, CEO of HW Global, said the pandemic has created booming market conditions for all businesses within the group: “Massive business transformation activity is taking place across all industries, functions and geographies.

“The lockdown has not only forced the breakdown of generational barriers to digital online purchasing, driving organisations to automate their businesses to serve their consumers, but also to drive operational efficiencies and remain competitive in their sectors.

“There are so many challenges to businesses right now; sustainability, redesign of supply chains, hyper-inflation and the need to truly embrace EI&D. Businesses have to think more laterally and, in all cases, this means engaging and hiring exceptional talent.”

Spencer added: “Our strategy is built around capitally invested, high-growth sectors of transformation and demand. To service this we will continue to acquire complimentary businesses while investing internally to support organic growth.”
