H&P has seen tremendous amounts of growth and progression this past year. As well as cementing our presence in the German and Benelux markets, we’ve grown our reach in the APAC regions alongside increasing our US presence with the launch of our financial services team and the opening of our New York office.

Partner, Ricky Roy, outlines our success in the legal markets this past year.

“Regarding our growth in the legal sphere, we have delivered on some market leading team moves and Partner hires across the Benelux and DACH regions. In addition to this, we completed our first engagements in NYC with both law firms and corporate groups.

Our in-house legal business is going from strength to strength across all of those jurisdictions listed above, including working with investment firms, some of the largest automotive, chemics, telecoms and energy companies in the world.”

Additionally, this past year saw the launch of our financial services team. One of our associates, Charlie Scott, outlines how this team has grown in the past year.

“The financial services team had a great first year of business. We strengthened our foothold in our German market and have started to expand across wider Europe. We also introduced a team dedicated to the US financial markets and have made significant steps in this area. Our headcount increased by 300% in this team enabling us to supply the demands of both clients & candidates. As a team, we made noticeable placements ranging analysts in small cap funds, all the way up to Director level in large cap clients across Europe.

The coming year we will look to continue to grow & establish our place in the industry. The natural growth within the company will allow us to follow on our achievements this year & achieve our goals on a more global scale.”

All of this success has seen H&P became a finalist for several prestigious award bodies and saw our co-founder Jack Hayes recognised with the Silver award for Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the SME National Business Awards.

“I’m really proud that all of our team have all expanded their understanding of their respective markets to the point where our younger team members are placing Partner and Council level positions. We’re now consistently hearing feedback from our clients and candidates that our team’s professionalism and market understanding is far superior to many domestic executive search firms.”
