Executive Grapevine, the leading information source for those in talent management, has placed Sheffield Haworth at the top of its specialist search firms ranking for 2006.

This year it created a new listing, ranking Sheffield Haworth at number one with 3.8% market share. The rankings are compiled from search firms who operate with fewer than 20 consultants on assignments over £100,000.

The UK Directory rankings, in association with The Sunday Times, detail the firms with the highest market share across executive search.

The strength of the business in London is complemented by the continued development of the New York and Hong Kong offices as part of a wider international business plan to create a global platform
