Norman Broadbent Names Executive Search Head
February 14, 2017 – U.K.-headquartered recruiter Norman Broadbent has appointed Tim Hammett as managing partner and head of executive search. Mr. Hammett has a 17 year track record in the field and an in-depth knowledge of the C-level market. Most recently, he was a partner with Wilton & Bain in London. He entered search in 2000 and has worked at the senior levels with firms including Heidrick & Struggles, Whitehead Mann and Augmentum.
During his career, Mr. Hammett has covered markets such as consumer, life sciences, telecom and media. Besides his executive search experience, he has also had management responsibility for leading a senior interim practice for a leading global search firm and managed teams across London, Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore.
“We are delighted to welcome Tim to the Norman Broadbent Group and our senior leadership team,” said Mike Brennan, group chief executive officer. “As the world of work changes, clients are quite rightly becoming more demanding of executive search firms. They increasingly want to see new, more value added and integrated search solutions emerging.”
