Barclay Simpson celebrates its 20th Anniversary
Online, December 21, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Formed in 1989 as an internal audit recruitment consultancy, the business has incrementally added specialist capability across the full spectrum of corporate governance including risk management, regulatory compliance, information security, business continuity, legal and treasury. The business now recruits throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
Commenting on the company's development, founder Adrian Simpson said, "I am delighted with the progress the business has made. Our success is derived from our ability to retain our consultants. In 20 years we have never lost a consultant to a competitor and we have not made any redundancies during the recession. This has allowed us to steadily build Barclay Simpson into a leader in its field with true expertise in our markets. We have real strength in depth and this, even in the teeth of the recession, has allowed us to continue investing in the business. In the last year we have opened offices in Dubai and Hong Kong, launched our treasury division and continued to invest in our on-line capabilities. We have exciting plans for future expansion both at home and abroad that will allow us to offer the career opportunities our excellent people deserve."
Barclay Simpson differentiates itself from other recruitment companies through its non-commission based remuneration scheme and its refusal to follow the KPI/target setting approach to managing its consultants. Adrian Simpson notes, "We recruit high calibre consultants and then give them the support, authority and autonomy to fulfil their potential. We believe in managing the business rather than the people who work within it who are more than capable of managing themselves. This approach has allowed us to both recruit and retain extremely high calibre people and is the true source of the company's success."
Barclay Simpson is recruiting across all its operations both in the UK and overseas. Visit http://www.barclaysimpson.com for further information.
