Who we are

What We Do

Holtby Turner offers more than just Executive Search – we offer bespoke talent development programmes that encourage both personal productivity and commercial profitability. By helping clients motivate, develop and retain their top talent they benefit from a more committed workforce, and for executive managers, an effective succession plan.

Our services have grown internationally with presence established by candidates we’ve placed overseas, and client offices that have expanded. Further to continued requests for additional support, in 2016 we launched our executive search services across Europe and the US.

We are now partnering with respected, specialist real estate executive search firms, Keller Augusta in Boston and New York, PMCi in Germany and DVA Executive in Paris. In 2017, we will be deepening our client value through the launch of partnerships in Singapore, Australia and Canada.
