A Year of Solid Growth Places Archer Mathieson in Top Spot

January 16, 2007 - Press Dispensary - With its interim management revenues up by an impressive 51% overall in 2006, Archer Mathieson (http://www.archermat.com), the executive recruitment company, is recognised by Executive Grapevine’s 2007 report as the UK’s number one interim management provider outside London.

The report, released at the start of each year, has placed Archer Mathieson in the top ten ranking UK-wide for the last two years: however this is the first time Archer Mathieson has reached the number one position for companies outside London since it was founded in 1998.

Compared to many competitors who recruit across all disciplines within a particular industry sector, Archer Mathieson’s consultants are discipline specialists in the three key support functions of finance, human resources and information technology. In the human resources sector, in particular, Archer Mathieson has seen interim management revenues grow by 93% in the last year.

Ashton Ward, head of interim management at Archer Mathieson, says: “Human resources growth is being fuelled in part by a more educated market which appreciates the value and effectiveness of interim management.”

“Our consultants specialise in a particular support discipline - finance, HR or IT - enabling us to develop strong relationships and an in depth understanding of our interim managers. As a result, our candidate knowledge is second to none, which ensures that we secure the most appropriate person for each assignment.”

Archer Mathieson achieves high levels of repeat business and acts as a ‘sounding board’ to its clients. Ward continues: “we are genuinely consultative and often influence our clients’ decision making. Our role is to listen, advise and then secure the best talent to deliver effective results.”

Archer Mathieson provides the highest standard of executive recruitment and interim management in the specialist fields of finance, IT and human resources. Clients range from entrepreneurial SMEs to FTSE 250 and Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industry sectors and include Microsoft, Serco and Shire Pharmaceutical.

Based in Windsor, the company enjoys an enviable reputation throughout the home counties and London for securing key decision makers and high flyers through its search and selection services. Archer Mathieson’s highly successful interim division operates on a national and international basis where it has consistently placed some of the best talent in interim management available.
