Executive search firm announces expansion into Birmingham

Executive search firm HW Group has announced its expansion into Birmingham.

Mark Snelling, previously senior vice president with Protiviti, will head up the office.

Prior to this Snelling was finance and audit director for Enterprise Rent a Car.

A division of HW Global, the global talent acquisition company offering executive search and interim management solutions, HW Solutions will provide senior and executive level interim appointments across the UK, including tailored services to deliver critical projects through proven experts and measured outcomes.

The Birmingham office will be located in the city centre Mailbox.

Currently operating from UK offices in Manchester, Leeds and London, HW Group continues to expand its global business servicing more than 70 countries. The group is made up of HW Global, HW People, Osmii and Zebra.

John Wakeford, founder and partner at HW, said: “As the business continues to grow, the expansion into Birmingham reflects the continued focus we place on our clients and servicing their requirements from across a number of regions. The addition of Mark and a team in the Midlands will enable us to continue to deliver the quality bespoke client service we are recognised for in the market. It’s great to have Mark on board, and we look forward to recruiting more talent into the business going forward.

“Our interim management consultants work alongside the executive search team, utilising a combination of market knowledge and in-house research capabilities to source the ideal interim to undertake a business transformation project or help lead an organisation during a period of absence or change.”

Snelling said: “I am delighted to be joining HW Group and am proud to be able to do this in Birmingham. The network of relationships across the group is outstanding and provides a great platform to grow. Offering our clients additional services is at the heart of building deeper partnerships moving forwards. We will be actively growing our office and hiring in the region.”
